Abstract
The previous chapter has analyzed and outlined the theoretical nexus between refugee safety and humanitarianism. This chapter deals with one of the most critical areas, namely, RSI related to refugee rights, protection, and existing protection instruments. It further analyzes burden-sharing instruments and the responsibilities of states to protect refugee rights. It suggests that the existing instruments for protecting refugee rights are insufficient as they do not properly encompass human rights nor address the reasons for the refugees’ flight. This chapter outlines the scope, successes, and failures of the contemporary international refugee regime.
