مصادر قانون اللجوء ومعايير وجهات وإجراءات تحديد وضع اللاجئ في القانون الدولي

Abstract EN

The Statute of the international court of justice, which forms an integral part of the charter of United Nations is considered the main source of asylum law, as Article 38 of this Charter defines the sources that Asylum law is derived from it, which are as follows: international conventions, whether public or private, and international law custom as evidence of general practice, general principles of law, and court rulings and decisions and its documents.

Article 38 of the Charter of the United Nations is the primary source of asylum law, the Convention.

The United Nations of 1951 is the basic rule in determining who is a refugee and the basic criteria that must be by a person seeking asylum, in order to obtain refugee status, which are as follows: That this person is outside his country of origin or habitual residence, and that there is justifiable fear for him to protect that country because of that fear, also exposure persecution because of race, religion, nationality, or membership of a particular social or political group.

All criteria are considered for determining refugee status.

There are specific bodies that determine whether a person is entitled to obtain refugee status or not.

Moreover, these bodies are the country of asylum and the United Nations High Commissioner for refugees.

The determination of refugee status is made on either an individual or collective basis.
