'Protection from Refuge is a masterful study of litigation in refugees' journeys, vividly illustrating how demands for sanctuary inevitably reach well beyond mere survival. In doing so, Ogg's insightful contribution provides a critical rejoinder to recent pessimism about law in countering border violence. Her sophisticated work will therefore prove crucial both for theoretical scholars and for strategic practitioners.' Itamar Mann, Professor of Law, University of Haifa
