Abstract
The chapter argues that any effort to share responsibility for refugee asylum will draw upon some cosmopolitan notion of moral and institutional responsibility, but measures far short of a genuinely cosmopolitan legal order could improve the global reception of refugees. Current responsibility is, in practice, based on ‘proximity’ to conflicts, leaving upwards of 84 per cent of the world’s refugees the responsibility of the developing world. The chapter thus suggests that what is required now is to reform existing global structures in order to create alternative assistance pathways that reflect ‘culpability’ for causing the harm that resulted in flight, and ‘capability’ to provide assistance at least proportionate to national cost.
