International Refugee Law Framework

The International Refugee Law Framework is a set of legal rules that protect people fleeing danger or persecution in their home countries. It primarily relies on the 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines who is a refugee and guarantees their rights, such as safety and non-refoulement (protection from being sent back to harm). Countries that are parties to this law agree to help refugees, providing asylum and support. This framework aims to ensure that vulnerable individuals are treated with dignity and receive international cooperation, promoting safety and stability for those displaced by conflicts, persecution, or human rights violations.
