Refugee Law
Refugee Law is a set of legal frameworks designed to protect individuals who flee their home countries due to persecution, conflict, or violence. It establishes the rights of refugees and the obligations of nations to provide asylum and support. The primary international agreement governing this area is the 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines who qualifies as a refugee and outlines the protections they should receive.
Countries that are signatories to Refugee Law must ensure that refugees are not returned to places where they face serious threats to their life or freedom, a principle known as non-refoulement. Additionally, these laws often include provisions for resettlement, integration, and access to basic services for refugees, promoting their safety and well-being in host countries.
