It is almost impossible to watch the news without hearing something
about Refugees these days. There are many who oppose the concept of refugees
and many who feel sorry for them; however, on thing is for sure, not everyone
is aware of the legal definition of being a refugee. Since the topic is among
the most discussed today, it is only fair that we put together some information
with the help of immigration law solicitors regarding the
concept of Refugees in the UK.
What is the Legal Definition of a Refugee?
According to Article 1 A(2) of the Refugee convention, a Refugee is a
person who due to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of
-
Race
-
Religion
-
Nationality
-
Membership particular group
-
Political opinion is outside the country of his
nationality and unable to avail the protection of that country or is unwilling
to return to it.
On the other hand, immigration law solicitors
see different sub parts in this definition:-
-
Possession of a fear that is well founded.
-
Of treatment that is so bad that is can be
considered as persecution.
-
Due to one of the five reasons mentioned above.
-
Being out of ones birthplace.
-
And being unwilling or unable to return to its
protection.
