Refugees` rights and national security

Summary/Abstract: The paper aims to analyze the rights of refugees in the context of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and highlight the importance of respecting the fundamental rights of these vulnerable people. Among the protected rights is the right to asylum, which gives people persecuted or with a credible fear of persecution the right to seek and receive asylum in other countries. The Geneva Convention and its Protocol establish international norms regarding the granting of asylum, including the principles of non-refoulement and non-discrimination. Refugees enjoy rights similar to other residents of the country of asylum, including access to education, employment opportunities and medical services, and the granting of asylum is an international obligation. Humanitarian crises, armed conflicts and climate change contribute to the increase in the number of refugees, imposing the need for strengthened international cooperation to address the origins of forced migration. The rights to life, liberty and personal security, the right to education as well as the right to participate in public life, are essential in ensuring the integrity and security of refugees. The right to a decent standard of living, covering health, well-being, education and livelihood opportunities, is also crucial and involves promoting inclusion and eliminating discrimination. International best practices include effective integration policies adopted by countries such as Canada, Sweden, Germany and Norway. These countries combine support for refugees with strict screening procedures and extensive integration programs, including access to education and vocational training.
