اللجوء البيئي في القانون الدولي

الملخص EN

Most scholars assert the phenomenon of asylum, which, although its motives are multiple, is security resulting from wars, conflicts and racial discrimination, or due to the deterioration of economic conditions due to the lack of development in refugee-exporting countries.

there are other variables outside the framework of this matter that are not often raised, as they create a problem for this phenomenon, which is the environmental changes and their effects on the residents of areas experiencing climatic changes that push them to resort as a result of the difficulty of adaptation and the lack of the necessities of life or the lack of possibilities to live and meet the necessary needs or for reasons related to desertification, drought and other areas are on the verge of disappearing due to the rise in sea level and its threat.

the problem of environmental asylum, despite the fact that it was not deliberately addressed by the developed countries during the conferences that led to the adoption of international conventions related to refugees and the focus of their content on non-environmental aspects due to the difficulty of controlling the term and not acknowledging the need to make environmental degradation one of the motives for asylum, especially in light of climate change remains one of the thorny issues for which the international community must find lasting solutions.
