The 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol establish fundamental protections for refugees. First, they define who qualifies as a refugee, emphasizing the importance of fleeing persecution based on race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion. Second, the instruments establish the principle of non-refoulement, prohibiting the return of refugees to countries where they face threats to their safety. Finally, they outline the rights of refugees, including the right to work, access to education, and social welfare, ensuring their dignity and integration into host societies.
