The State of the World’s Refugees 2006

The Convention sets out the basic principles on which international refugee protection is built: non-refoulement, which emphasizes that refugees should not be returned to any place where they could face persecution; and impartiality, whereby all refugees are provided protection without discrimination. Recently, these principles have come under increasing threat. In a world which has grown increasingly hostile to asylum and refugees, the very relevance of the Convention has been questioned.Critics of the Convention allege that it is outdated, unworkable, irrelevant and inflexible.
