The 1951 Refugee Convention
The document discusses the 1951 Refugee Convention and its history and importance. The Convention was designed to help refugees scattered across Europe after World War II. It established who is considered a refugee and what legal protections and assistance they should receive from signatory states. Over time the scope of the Convention expanded from protecting European refugees to refugees around the world. Today it remains the cornerstone of international refugee law.
