Refugee law

In order for International refugee law to function and satisfactorily benefit the people it has challenged state sovereignty in some aspects. Regardless of the enforcement laws signatory states have been able to keep authority over the flow of refugees individually keeping their territorial supremacy. In my opinion refugee law has not challenged the principle of state sovereignty enough as some people still seem to fall within the cracks and are not afforded protection. States are still refusing

Governments enact laws governing refugee and asylum seekers based on political factors. Ties between the country of origin and the country of asylum, national security and current event are some of the factors that cause governments to enact laws for political reasons.

Policies enacted for political reasons do not always reflect the social climate of the country, but

It is said that the leading explanation of refugee migration is the negligence and violation of human rights. Considering the connection between the two, one can question the way a country or state defines what a refugee is. The extent of refugee law and human rights law speaks to the most unmistakable contrast between the two branches of universal law. While human rights are pertinent to each individual, the advantage of refugee status relies upon the recognition of a proposed classification of

I spent the last five years dedicating myself to these issues-helping refugees to trace their family members and create an imaginary network, fighting human trafficking, advocating the rights of refugees under international refugee law and trying to mobilize diaspora and transnational communities towards helping their vulnerable members. Broadly, I share a vision of working towards a more just and equitable world by uncovering stories of abuse of power and lack of opportunities

Introduction In this policy paper, I will be focusing on refugees and the laws, policies, and programs that affect them. As I analyze these policies I will compare policies from various countries, that have been created to achieve similar goals. Many countries accept refugees and have adopted and/or created laws to regulate them. The three countries that I will be analyzing are the United States of America, Germany, and Turkey. These three countries are unique in their characteristics and geographic

Effectiveness of the United States and Canada’s Polices Towards Refugees Has United States or Canada been more effective with implementing and abiding by refugee rules and laws? Before discussing and comparing which of these countries had been more successful, the historical context of refugees needs to be explored. Although refugees have existed throughout the course of history, the definitions of what a refuge is had shifted and evolved over time. The League of Nations in the 1920s defined refugees

between a refugee, an asylum seeker, and an immigrant. Over the years, different associations, agencies, official acts and laws have come into existence to limit who can be awarded the title of refugee. Rules and regulations have become the most confusing part of coming to the United States if a person is seeking refuge. This paper will explore the history of the American refugee and the laws, regulations, and associations that aide or hinder their status. What is the Difference between a Refugee, and
