Rights at Risk: A thematic investigation into how states restrict the freedom of movement of refugees on the African Continent

The aim of this paper is to investigate how states with the severest restrictions on the freedom of movement of refugees in Africa implement these restrictions within the international legal framework. This is achieved through a thematic look at the national legislation and government policy relating to refugees of African states who have refugee camps. The role of UNHCR in maintaining these camps and the continued restrictions on freedom of movement is also discussed.
