Refugees are people who are forced to leave their homes and countries due to armed conflict, persecution or serious human rights violations that endanger their lives and freedom. The situation of refugees is one of the most vulnerable and precarious, as they often face multiple challenges, such as lack of protection, discrimination and limited access to basic resources. The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol are the key international instruments that define the rights of refugees and the obligations of States to protect them, including the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits the return of refugees to countries where their lives or freedoms are in danger.
Refugee rights include the right to seek asylum, protection against return to dangerous situations, and access to basic services such as health, education and employment. Furthermore, refugees have the right to be treated with dignity and respect, without discrimination of any kind, and to live in conditions that allow them to integrate and rebuild their lives in security and freedom.
At IHRCG, we recognize the extreme vulnerability of refugees and are committed to defending their fundamental rights. We work to ensure that refugees receive the protection and support they need to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into new communities. This includes legal assistance in obtaining asylum, access to essential services and promoting fair and humane asylum policies. Additionally, we strive to combat the xenophobia and discrimination that refugees often face, promoting tolerance and inclusion in host communities. We believe in the dignity and worth of every person and are dedicated to building a world where the rights of refugees are respected and protected, allowing them to live in safety and dignity.
