Extract

At its Sixty-fifth Conference in Cairo, April 20-26, 1992, the International Law Association approved by consensus the Declaration of Principles of International Law on Compensation to Refugees. Prepared by the International Committee on the Legal Status of Refugees, these principles build upon earlier drafts that were debated at the Sixty-third Conference in Warsaw in 1988, and were approved “in principle” at the Sixty-fourth Conference in Queensland, Australia, in 1990.
