Internationaler Schutz im Falle extremer Armut

The book critically examines the juxtaposition of refugees eligible for admission or subsidiary protection and so-called poverty or economic refugees allegedly ineligible for protection. With regard to the question of whether international protection should be granted in cases of extreme poverty on the basis of the Common European Asylum System, the role of economic, social and cultural rights as well as the case law of the two European courts are examined in particular. Furthermore, existing challenges are identified and a proposal for a solution that closes protection gaps in the sense of a more far-reaching harmonisation of the European system is presented.
