Interpreting the Refugee Definition

Abstract

Relying on the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), this chapter explains why international human rights law is relevant to the interpretation of Article 1A(2) of the Refugee Convention. It then describes Articles 31-33 of the VCLT, which will be relied upon to address the two limitations in the dominant human rights-based interpretation of the refugee definition identified in Chapter 3.
