7 Preface The idea of writing this book was born sometime in 1999 just before Blanche decided actually to join the UNHCR and the two of us started living in Bangkok. It was born during a car journey undertaken by me and Prof. Pieter Boeles, the driver, on our way back to Amsterdam from a meeting in Utrecht. It was agreed that I would conduct comprehensive research into the international legal responsibilities of States for the protection of individuals from refoulement. Prof. Boeles and I felt this to be an important topic which could be investigated from just about anywhere in the world. It would not matter where the UNHCR sent us in the years to come; I could do my research. A team was formed comprising of Prof. Pieter Boeles, Prof. Ben Vermeulen and René Bruin. Over the years I regularly travelled back to the Netherlands to meet with this distinguished trio in Ben s office at the Free University in Amsterdam. Since the beginning of 2000 I have taken my work to five different countries before finally finding the time to complete it. Ever since I graduated from Leiden University I have seen asylum seekers and refugees in a variety of countries and settings, ranging from new arrivals in the Aanmeldcentrum at Schiphol airport to Bhutanese refugees residing in camps in Eastern Nepal. All these people had been displaced and had their reasons for seeking protection outside their own country. No matter where they were or why they fled, they were vulnerable and insecure; in dire need of knowing and understanding their rights. The reasons for writing this book are obvious at least to me. As Stephen Legomsky once wrote, we do not live in a utopian world where there are no refugees, no armed conflicts and no human rights abuses; we do not even live in a modified utopian world where refugees are welcomed with open arms. Unfortunately, we live in a world that consists of sovereign States that jealously guard their territories, their wealth, and their economic composition (Legomsky 2000, p. 620). It is therefore important to analyse and clearly state the various legal obligations States have vis-à-vis individuals who are seeking and are in need of international asylum protection. This book would not have been possible without the support of many. First and foremost, I thank Blanche for opening the world to me in so many different ways, loving me and allowing me to do my research for all these years. I have to thank my colleagues at the Institute of Immigration Law, Gerrie, Suzanne, Maarten, Marcelle, Brigitte, Ciara, Elisabeth and the numerous student assistants, for their continuous support and interest in my life and work. It never mattered how long I had been away from the Institute. I always felt very welcome when I returned to Leiden. In particular, I want to thank Maarten and Marcelle for providing me with crucial information and insights, for reading various drafts and letting me interrupt them on numerous occa-
8 VIII Preface sions and discuss with them a long list of arguments that I had thought of; some valuable and others ridiculous. I am also grateful to Sam and Amy s nannies: Manana in Tbilisi, Soma in Colombo and Irene in Brussels. They took very good care of my daughters and kept them away from my office room, as Sam would call it, when I was working. I am grateful to my friends, colleagues and former students in Thailand who kept bugging me about this research. I am grateful too to those who have given me shelter during my stays in the Netherlands, in particular Wolf and Maria, Bas and Nico, and Petra and Willem, who gave me the keys to their home and always welcomed me with discussions, tea, wine and calvados (or spirits of a similar kind). Putting this book together and discovering the reality of the law would have been impossible without the experience I gained at the various organisations I have worked for since I graduated: the refugee department of Amnesty International in Amsterdam, FORUM, the Dutch Institute for Multicultural Development in the Netherlands, the Dutch Refugee Council, the editorial board of Jurisprudentie Vreemdelingenrecht (JV), the Office of Human Rights Studies and Social Development at Mahidol University in Thailand, and finally the Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE), which entrusted me with setting up its office in Sri Lanka and doing interesting work on the issue of housing, land and property restitution for refugees and displaced persons in Asia. Finally, I like to thank the one person who gave me the passion for asylum and refugee law; who shared his knowledge and experience, was my teacher and who kept guiding me until the last letter of this book was set in print. I thank René Bruin for all those years of true friendship. Kees Wouters Bangkok / Tbilisi / Colombo / Brussels / Phnom Penh / Amsterdam / Leiden,
