Joint IOM-UNHCR

Document Type: Orientación
Document Language: English
Refugees and migrants are entitled to the same universal human rights and fundamental freedoms, which must be respected, protected and fulfilled at all times. However, migrants and refugees are distinct groups governed by separate legal frameworks. Only refugees are entitled to the specific international protection as defined by international refugee law. Proper and effective operational approaches, with respective coordination responsibilities, will need to flow from this distinct terminology.
