Welcome to the November 2008 issue of The Researcher
In this issue we continue our focus on the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill with two articles: one by Catherine Kenny which examines the protection aspects of the Bill from a human rights perspective and the other by John Stanley BL on the relationship between the Bill and judgments of the Superior Courts. John Stanley has also contributed to our regular column, Recent Developments in Refugee and Immigration Law and we are very appreciative that Mary Fagan has summarised for that column the important European Court of Justice residency case known as Metock. A topic which has not been looked at before here is the impact of language and cultural barriers on refugee status determination and this is explored by James Healy BL. We also include a summary of the Hungarian Helsinki Committee Report, Access to Protection at Airports in Europe and we look at the implications of the APCI review of UK Home Office COI reports for researchers, legal representatives and decision makers. Elsewhere in this issue Patrick Dowling explores the Danakil Depression in Northern Ethiopia – one of the world’s hottest places and David Goggins investigates xenophobic violence in South Africa. Zoe Melling gives an update on RDC Library Journals and Jacki Kelly writes about the newly formed Refugee and Immigration Practitioners' Network.
