1 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, July 28, 1951, 189 UNTS 137 [hereinafter Refugee Convention].

2 Id., Art. 1(C)(5) states:

This Convention shall cease to apply to any person falling under the terms of Section A if … he can no longer, because the circumstances in connexion with which he has been recognized as a refugee have ceased to exist, continue to refuse to avail himself of the protection of the country of his nationality ….

3 See German Asylum Procedure Act, v. 26.6.1992, §70 (Bundesgesetzblatt I 1361).

4 Article 1(C) of the 1951 Convention stipulates five different grounds (or “modes” of cessation, as Zieck calls them) on the basis of which a refugee ceases to be a refugee. These grounds each have in common the consideration that international protection should not be granted where it is no longer necessary or justified. See Refugee Convention, supra note 1, Art. 1(Q(1)–(6).
