The well guarded turnstile : a comparative examination and appraisal of asylum status determination systems in four industrialised states
The well guarded turnstile : a comparative examination and appraisal of asylum status determination systems in four industrialised states
Part I encompassing chapters one to three examines what legal rights may be relied on by asylum seekers and the extent to which they may offer procedural protection during the determination process. Chapter one examines the relevance and effectiveness of international law and theory on asylum procedures. Chapter two evaluates the relevance and significance of constitutional norms for asylum seekers in respect of procedural guarantees that those norms may give rise to, and chapter three considers the impact and influence of international and regional human rights treaties.
The aim of the Part II of the thesis, (comprising chapter four) is twofold: (1) to explore the possibilities and advantages that moral and political philosophical approaches may offer for establishing standards of procedural fairness; and (2) to derive specific dignitary principles from the theoretical approaches that may be utilised as values of assessing comparative asylum determination systems.
In Part III chapter five examines in detail the respective laws and procedures governing asylum systems. Whether procedures are unjust by reference to dignitary principles - theories that are linked by the common understanding that the effects of process on individuals must be considered when evaluating and designing asylum determination systems. Chapters six and seven consider in detail two factors critical to the system design of asylum status determination that is intent on being considered procedurally just: (1) education and training and (2) information technology, with emphasis on information resource centres.

Abstract
Part I encompassing chapters one to three examines what legal rights may be relied on by asylum seekers and the extent to which they may offer procedural protection during the determination process. Chapter one examines the relevance and effectiveness of international law and theory on asylum procedures. Chapter two evaluates the relevance and significance of constitutional norms for asylum seekers in respect of procedural guarantees that those norms may give rise to, and chapter three considers the impact and influence of international and regional human rights treaties.
The aim of the Part II of the thesis, (comprising chapter four) is twofold: (1) to explore the possibilities and advantages that moral and political philosophical approaches may offer for establishing standards of procedural fairness; and (2) to derive specific dignitary principles from the theoretical approaches that may be utilised as values of assessing comparative asylum determination systems.
In Part III chapter five examines in detail the respective laws and procedures governing asylum systems. Whether procedures are unjust by reference to dignitary principles - theories that are linked by the common understanding that the effects of process on individuals must be considered when evaluating and designing asylum determination systems. Chapters six and seven consider in detail two factors critical to the system design of asylum status determination that is intent on being considered procedurally just: (1) education and training and (2) information technology, with emphasis on information resource centres.
