Journal Title: Альманах міжнародного права - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue
Abstract
The aggravation of armed conflicts, the uneven economic development of countries, social and political instability, the further existence of religious, national, racial discrimination, the harassment of certain categories of population and the manifestations of violence – all of these things lead to an increase in the proportion of refugees in the world in recent years. The official definition of the concept of «refugee» is contained in the Geneva Convention, published in 1951. The international community is trying to care about the protection of refugee rights on an equal footing with the rights of citizens. A refugee has the right to safe haven, basic assistance, economic and social rights, access to medical care, training, the right to work, etc. In recent years, there has also been a tendency towards feminization of refugee. The following problems arise with the increase in the number of refugees: the significant financial costs in countries, which help refugees; the intolerance of the European population to refugees; the aggravation of conflicts between refugees and citizens within the country etc. The form of countries` response to similar challenges of the «migration crisis» is the adoption of changes to the legislation of individual countries. The European Parliament has introduced a quota for refugees in accordance with the size of the GDP and the population of the country. Such countries as Sweden, Germany and Austria also have established more stringent rules for the reception of refugees.
