Abstract

The legal instruments on the international plane concerning refugees are the 1951 Geneva Convention refugees and the 1967 Protocols relating to the status of the refuges extending the definition to the African refugees, including the 1969 African convention of the refugees governing the different aspects of refugees in Africa.., the main goal is to make understand how the refugees are seen in the eyes of international law. So after we do understand the requirements of international law and the responsibility that states really have on the refugees no matter the place even in Europe, Asia with some African examples, it is going to be good to go a little further in the study of the prohibition of discrimination between and among the refugees through some important principles within the legal framework of the refugees legal system which is also one key point in the Responsibility of states, then highlighting some points in temporary protection and repatriation of refugees in a brief way.
