“Human Rights and International Protection for vulnerable asylum applicants” presents, through a selection of articles by migration experts, a critical overview of the EU legal framework for specific categories of vulnerable asylum seekers such as unaccompanied minors, torture victims, victims of sex trafficking and LGBTI persons. It is a valuable tool for legal and other practitioners in the field of asylum and migration. “It is a highly valuable contribution to the manifold aspects of the European refugee crisis. A must read on the topic!” according to Evelyn Regner, Chair of EU Parliament Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality.
