Summary
Refugee status is not conceived as a permanent thing. As surrogate or substitute protection,1 its purpose is to ensure the well-being and autonomy of persons compelled to leave their own country until and unless national protection is again available to them. If and when a refugee has access to durable national protection – whether by repatriation,2 voluntary reestablishment,3 resettlement,4 or naturalization5 – refugee status comes to an end.6 In this fundamental sense, what are generally referred to as “durable solutions”7 to refugee flight are inherent in the structure of the Refugee Convention.
