refugee rights
Fleeing persons' entitlements
Refugee rights are the legal protections and entitlements afforded to people who have fled their home countries due to persecution, war, or violence.
Grounded in international law—particularly the 1951 Refugee Convention—these include the right to seek asylum, protection from being returned to dangerous situations, and access to basic necessities like shelter and education.
Advocates say the new policy violates refugee rights.
