We are happy to formally launch the third edition of The Refugee Law Reader. As you may be aware, The Reader, which is published by the Hungarian Helsinki Committee, is the first comprehensive on-line model curriculum for the study of international asylum and refugee law. Because of the rapid changes in the field, and in particular the legislative developments within the European Union, we have had to introduce new editions of The Reader at a rapid pace. The amount of material available within its easily accessible framework has doubled since the first publication of The Reader in 2004. As a ‘living’ case book, it offers access to an enormous wealth of primary source material and secondary literature that we hope will strengthen the teaching and research capacity in international refugee law.

For the many colleagues around the world who are using The Reader already, we hope that you will continue to find it a valuable resource. For those colleagues who have not recently visited the site, we warmly welcome you to do so. As always, we invite your comments and suggestions for future revisions.
