搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] In refugee law, the meaning of 鈥榳ell-founded fear of being persecuted鈥� has been extensively examined by courts and scholars alike. Yet, there has been very little consideration of how far into the future a risk of persecution may extend for protection to be warranted.
This lack of guidance on the question of timing has allowed an inappropriate notion of 鈥榠mminence鈥� to infiltrate refugee decision-making across a range of jurisdictions 鈥� at times resulting in people being denied protection. It is especially pertinent to human rights-based claims involving harms that may manifest more gradually over time, such as those relating to the slow-onset impacts of climate change.
Professor McAdam's paper examines how certain courts have grappled with 鈥榯ime鈥� in a relatively nuanced way, highlighting principles that may be instructive for other contexts.
