This paper is designed to provide a preliminary understanding of the barriers facing refugees in legal limbo in Canada. In particular, it will focus on the economic implications, for both protected persons and Canadian society at large, of maintaining tens of thousands of individuals in this difficult situation for extended periods of time. The findings are preliminary, and designed to indicate future avenues of research, as well as potential roadblocks to research in this area. The paper also includes some of the results of a survey of Convention refugees and the refugee-supporting organizations, conducted by the Public Justice Resource Centre. The initial conclusions indicate that the costs of limbo are large enough to warrant serious reconsideration of this stage of Canada's refugee determination policy. The rationale for this study was to help key decision makers see the futility and the unnecessary cost to the government of keeping refugees in limbo. ; Cet article vise à fournir une compréhension initiale des obstacles confrontant les réfugiés qui se retrouvent dans un état juridique indéterminé au Canada. Il se penchera en particulier sur les implications économiques à la fois pour les personnes protégées et la société canadienne en général de garder des dizaines de milliers d'individus dans cette situation difficile pendant des périodes étendues. Les résultats sont encore préliminaires et sont conçus pour indiquer les voies de recherche pour l'avenir, aussi bien que les obstacles possibles à la recherche dans ce domaine. L'article propose aussi des extraits des résultats d'un sondage effectué auprès des réfugiés et d'organismes de soutien aux réfugiés par le Public Justice Resource Centre (Centre de ressources pour la justice publique). Les conclusions initiales indiquent que les coûts de cet état indéterminé sont suffisamment élevés pour justifier une sérieuse remise en question de cette étape dans la politique de reconnaissance des réfugiés. Le raisonnement pour entreprendre cette étude était d'aider ...

This thesis looks at the Vietnamese undocumented immigrants in Berlin and their choice of risk as mobility through their perception of risk, their migration experiences, and their recollection and retrospective evaluation of risk. Risk here refers to the dangers and challenges the immigrants perceive and face in preparation for migration, en route to, and in Berlin. These three distinct moments unfold in three locations: Vietnam, the Eastern European countries they traverse, and Berlin, but flow in an integral continuum and not as separate or independent intervals. The three moments show the fluidity of migration and the transnational nature of risk through the linkage between temporality and spatiality, and between perception, experiences, and memories. In each of the three main sections of the thesis, I juxtapose theories with ethnographic accounts and oral history narratives to illuminate how these theories play out in the experiences of the Vietnamese immigrants. I follow the call to pay attention to and to integrate the non-humans in research on urban spaces. I embrace the departure from the sacrosanct separation of nature and society as seen in various bodies of sc¬holarship of late, including political ecology and urban studies.

Post-legislative guidance is a regular feature of European Union law. It serves to elaborate upon the meaning and practical implications of European framework norms. This paper presents a case study on post-legislative guidance adopted in the area of climate change and operating at the interface between European and international law. It examines whether and when post-legislative guidance of this kind may be regarded as susceptible to European-level judicial review. It argues that although the European courts privilege substance over form in deciding which measures may be challenged, post-legislative guidance will frequently escape the scrutiny of these courts. The paper argues that the European courts' case law is premised upon a series of distinctions that operate to obscure the nature and impact of guidance as a governance form and that the European courts should create enhanced opportunities for judicial review. The paper considers what, concretely, this argument might mean for the development of European administrative law. While this paper focuses upon post-legislative guidance in the area of environmental law, the administrative law analysis presented is relevant also beyond this specific substantive sphere.
