Complementary or subsidiary protection? Offering an appropriate status without undermining refugee protection

This paper attempts to point out the risks of undermining the primacy of the Refugee Convention, and at the same time suggest various mechanisms or safeguards that may contribute to reducing the risk. Furthermore, the author discusses some issues that have to be settled in preparing the future community instrument, in terms of delimiting the beneficiaries of subsidiary protection and deciding the standards of treatment accorded to such persons.
