A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF REFUGEE LAWS IN EASTERN AND WESTERN COUNTRIES: IMPLICATIONS FOR GLOBAL REFUGEE PROTECTION

Abstract

The area of international law known as "refugee law" deals with the customary obligations that governments have towards refugees. Scholars of international law have different perspectives on how the provisions of international human rights or international norms relate to refugee law. The present study aims to analyze the refugee laws and policies in different Eastern and Western countries under International law. To identify similarities and differences in how Eastern and Western countries approach giving protection and support to refugees, this study examines and contrasts their laws and policies towards refugees. In the research design, a method for assessing qualitative data will be employed. The statistical data will be obtained from trusted resources such as UNHCR for the population of migrants and refugees in certain Eastern and Western countries.
