Dr Hugo Storey, B.A. Hons (University of Sydney), B.Phil (Oxon), PhD (University of Leeds), is a recently retired judge of the Upper Tribunal (UK). He has published widely on human rights, refugee law, international law, and European law issues. He is one of the International Association of Refugee and Migration Judges' (IARMJ's) founding members and immediate past president of its European Chapter. He presently heads an IARMJ project with the European Union Asylum Agency (EUAA) (formerly EASO) which has overseen publication of 7 Judicial Analyses plus updates.

This well-structured and insightful work provides much food for thought ... The purpose of this book is not to propose that a new legal instrument should be drafted, nor even to posit that the definition of the concept of a refugee contained in the Geneva Convention needs to be modified. Rather, it suggests that certain aspects of that definition should be authoritatively interpreted, and thus clarified. This work thus provides precious impetus to moves to harmonise the interpretation of that concept and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone who has an interest in this subject.
