Understanding the Protection Framework of Refugees

Abstract

In many parts of the world, people are being displaced in a large number. This is due to the persecution, serious human rights abuses, armed conflicts, civil strife, and natural calamities that they encounter in their countries of origin. Ethnic cleansing, religious and tribal hatred and indeed struggles for political and economic power between various factions become the main reasons for people to go into exile and become refugees. It is important that refugees and people who receive them understand very well their legal protection framework.
