International Protection

International protection refers to support provided to individuals who face danger or persecution in their home countries, often because of their race, religion, nationality, political beliefs, or social group. It includes legal status such as refugee or asylum seeker recognition, which grants safety, rights, and residence in a safe country. This protection is guided by international agreements like the 1951 Refugee Convention, ensuring affected individuals are treated with dignity, receive assistance, and are protected from forced return to dangerous areas. It aims to uphold human rights and offer safety to those fleeing persecution or conflict.
