The Principle of non- Refoulement and its Role in the Protection of Refugees

Abstract

    The protection available to refugees under the principle of non-refoulement is a well-established rule of the customary international law; which means that they can'€™t be shiftedagainst their well to their country where their life is at risk. A person who avails the protection of the principle of non-refoulement and other protections guaranteed under the international refugee instruments is considered a refugee. This principle is well established both under the Refugee Convention 1951 and Convention against Torture (CAT) 1984. This research revolves around the question that if a country is not a signatory to any refugee related instrument at international level nor has any domestic law related to refugees, sothen what precludes such a nation from expelling a person or group of persons from their territory? The paper explores the various protections available to refugees in general and under the principle of non-refoulement in particular.

    Forced return, Nationality, Persecution, Political opinion, and Race.
