protection of refugees

Protection of refugees involves ensuring their safety, rights, and well-being when they flee their home countries due to conflict, persecution, or disaster. International laws, like the 1951 Refugee Convention, require countries to avoid returning refugees to danger (non-refoulement), grant them legal rights, access to basic services, and support for rebuilding their lives. Governments and organizations work together to provide shelter, healthcare, education, and protection from harm, respecting refugees' dignity and rights while helping them integrate into new communities or return safely home when possible.
