Factors of weakness and shortcomings in the Geneva convention of 1951

Abstract EN

The topic of the research aims to shed light on the most prominent shortcomings in the 1951 Geneva refugee convention and its amending protocols, as the treaty at that time was appropriate for the conditions experienced by countries after world war ii, but now the 1951 Geneva convention does not meet the minimum level of refugee protection for many reasons, including that the agreement contains contradictory, ambiguous and loose articles, and therefore the problem is that some European countries exploit the ambiguity of the articles to evade their obligations, hence the researcher seeks to shed light on the most prominent defects of the convention Geneva, and provides the necessary recommendations to address its shortcomings.
