Summary
Refugee rights at international law are nearly always codified in treaties.1 The core of the refugee rights regime is the 1951 Refugee Convention2 and its 1967 Protocol,3 still the only source of globally applicable refugee rights. But as the analysis in Chapter 1 has shown, this core is today supplemented by both regional refugee rights standards4 and a more general international system of international human rights law.5 Reading these standards together – as the analysis in Chapters 4–7 does – the treaty-based system for the advancement of refugee rights is remarkably comprehensive.
