| Abstract: | The 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees has beendescribed as an unnecessary addendum to the 1951 ConventionRelating to the Status of Refugees. However, if the 1967 Protocolwas superfluous, why did the United Nations High Commissionerfor Refugees in the early 1960s insist on its development? Thisarticle seeks to establish that the 1967 Protocol was originallyintended to encompass the broader concerns of African and Asianstates concerning refugee populations in their region. However,the political influence upon the development of internationalrefugee law radically altered the UNHCR's endeavour to makethe 1951 Convention universally accessible. |
