在本文中，我认为，签署 1951 年《公约》和 1967 年《关于难民地位的议定书》（以下简称“《公约》”）的国家中寻求庇护者的条件越来越与非签署国的情况相似。寻求庇护者待遇的类似恶化是《公约》建立的现有难民保护制度解体的征兆。本文重点关注因对待难民的方式而受到广泛批评的非签署国泰国的案例，并将难民保护方面的三个重要趋势与英国进行了比较。在泰国和英国，保护措施是临时的、任意的、跨空间的、有差别的，导致极度不稳定。我对泰国和英国的情况进行比较时有两个概念：保护环境，涵盖难民治理的一系列实践，从签署的条约到软法律、分包服务提供商和不合格的媒体报道；以及分级的保护级别，依靠空间逻辑来管理获得保护的机会并塑造难民想象的未来以及他们目前的状况。这种比较挑战了发达国家和发展中国家以及《公约》签署国和非签署国之间在难民学术研究中占主导地位的隐含区别，并扩展了最近解构民族国家一致性和权威的学术研究。我的结论是，这些假定的划分不仅不准确，而且掩盖了寻求庇护者和难民在这两个地点面临的不稳定和危险的现实。 《公约》提供的保护日益成为任意和有害对待难民的幌子。
In this paper, I argue that conditions for asylum seekers in countries that have signed the 1951 Convention and 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (hereafter ‘Convention’) are increasingly paralleling those in non-signatory countries. The similar deterioration of treatment of asylum seekers is symptomatic of the disintegration of the existing refugee protection system established by the Convention. This paper focuses on the case of Thailand, a non-signatory country that has been widely criticised for its treatment of refugees, and compares three significant trends in refugee protection with those in the UK. In Thailand as well as the UK, protection takes shape as ad hoc, arbitrary and differentially applied across space, leading to extreme precariousness. Two concepts frame my comparison of the Thai and UK contexts: the landscapes of protection that encompass the range of practices engaged in refugee governance, from signed treaties to soft laws, subcontracted service providers and substandard media coverage; and the graduated levels of protection that rely on spatial logics to manage access to protection and shape both refugees’ imagined futures as well as their present status. This comparison challenges the implicit distinctions between developed and developing countries, as well as signatories and non-signatories to the Convention, that have predominated in refugee scholarship, and extends recent scholarship that deconstructs the coherence and authority of the nation state. I conclude that these presumed divisions are not only inaccurate, but mask the precarious and dangerous realities that asylum seekers and refugees face in both locations. Increasingly, the protections offered by the Convention have become a facade for arbitrary and harmful treatment of refugees.
