Paper short abstract:
not used
Paper long abstract:
This paper examines human rights issues surrounding the forcible return of Eritrean asylum seekers to Eritrea. It begins by raising questions about the failure of governments which deport Eritreans to uphold their obligations under international law. Second I look at the role of the UNHCR in ensuring the protection of Eritrean asylum seekers. Finally I examine the risks which confront Eritreans on return as seen through a human rights framework.
