Analysis of International Legal Norms Regarding the Protection of Refugee and Migrant Rights in the Modern World

Abstract

The relevance of the research topic is determined by the global nature of the problem of protecting the rights of refugees and migrants, which remains one of the most difficult in international law. The growing number of forced displacements due to military conflicts, human rights violations and environmental disasters requires updating existing approaches to the international protection of this vulnerable category of persons. In this context, the study of the principles of international law, their implementation and the role of international organizations is particularly important.

The purpose of the article is to analyze the key principles of international law that relate to the protection of refugee rights, to assess their role in the formation of the international protection system, as well as to study the ways of their reflection in domestic law. Special attention is paid to the consideration of the role of international organizations and states in ensuring compliance with international legal norms.

The article uses general scientific and special research methods. In particular, the method of systemic analysis helped to reveal the relationship between international legal norms and their implementation at the national level. The comparative legal method made it possible to investigate the peculiarities of legal regulation in different countries, and the methods of document analysis and interpretation contributed to the in-depth study of international treaties and resolutions.

The results of the study proved that key principles such as non-refoulement, non-refoulement and equal burden-sharing are the foundation of the international refugee protection system. At the same time, the study revealed significant gaps in their implementation, in particular in the conditions of an increase in the number of refugees, as well as insufficient effectiveness of cooperation between states and international organizations.

The conclusions state that in order to improve the international protection of the rights of refugees, it is necessary to strengthen cooperation between states and international institutions, improve national legislation and take into account new challenges related to climate migrations and other global changes.
