Refugee protection system

The refugee protection system is an international framework designed to help people fleeing danger or persecution. When someone cannot stay in their home country—due to war, violence, or persecution—they can request safety and legal protection in another country. Agencies like the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) work with governments to assess these claims, offer asylum, and ensure refugees' rights are respected. The system aims to provide safety, dignity, and access to basic needs, while encouraging solutions like voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement in third countries when possible.
