Refugees and Asylum Rights

Refugees are individuals who flee their home countries due to fear of persecution, violence, or human rights violations. Asylum rights allow these individuals to seek safety in another country and obtain legal protection. International laws, such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, ensure that refugees cannot be returned to places where they face danger. This framework recognizes the fundamental human rights of refugees, including the right to live free from harm and to seek a better life. Upholding these rights is crucial to ensuring dignity, safety, and hope for those forced to flee.
