Document Details : Title: Refugee, Migrant, Stranger Author(s): VAN GERWEN, Jef Journal: Ethical Perspectives Volume: 2 Issue: 1 Date: April 1995 Pages: 3-10 DOI: 10.2143/EP.2.1.563067 Abstract : In recent years there has been a great deal of activity and discussion on the appropriate treatment of refugees abd asylum-seekers in Western Europe, which peaked in Germany with more than 438000 requests in 1992 alone, has been at the root of the political debate.
