This study assesses jurisprudential developments in the case law in both common law and civil law jurisdictions over the past decade. In particular, it explores the degree to which courts have continued to invoke one or both of the dominant interpretative approaches, evaluates the extent to which new tests or elements of the tests have emerged, and undertakes a critical analysis of the state of jurisprudential interpretation of PSG today. It also examines the extent to which interpretation of the MPSG ground has evolved to meet the protection needs of emerging groups and those historically overlooked in refugee law analysis.
