Refugee Rights
Refugee rights refer to the legal protections and entitlements granted to individuals who flee their home countries due to persecution, conflict, or violence. These rights are outlined in international agreements, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, which establishes the principle of non-refoulement, meaning refugees cannot be returned to places where their lives or freedoms would be threatened.
Refugees have the right to seek asylum, access basic services, and receive protection from discrimination. Countries that host refugees are obligated to ensure their safety and provide support, including access to education, healthcare, and legal assistance, to help them rebuild their lives in a new environment.
