国际难民保护制度既有成功的历史,也有坎坷的历史。当数百万难民的国家无法或不愿意这样做时,它成功地为他们提供了国际保护。尽管取得了如此巨大的成就,但该政权有时未能解决严重的难民保护问题,也未能为世界上许多难民提供持久的解决方案。本文从受其影响最严重的人的角度审视了该政权目前面临的挑战,并认识到其中许多挑战并不新鲜。它探讨了难民署的任务和活动如何扩大,以满足其照顾下的人们的更多和多样化的需求。它还回顾了难民署最近发起的旨在加强对难民的国际保护并通过加强多边合作扩大持久解决方案的可用性的举措。
The international refugee protection regime has had both a successful and a troubled history. It has succeeded in providing international protection to millions of refugees when their own States have been unable or unwilling to do so. Despite this considerable achievement, the regime has at times failed to solve serious refugee protection problems and has not been able to effect durable solutions for many of the world’s refugees. This essay examines the current challenges to the regime from the perspectives of those most affected by them, recognizing that many of these challenges are not new. It examines how UNHCR’s mandate and activities have expanded to meet the larger number and diverse needs of those under its care. As well, it reviews the recent initiatives launched by UNHCR to strengthen international protection for refugees and expand the availability of durable solutions through enhanced multilateral cooperation.
