Can the UN’s Refugee Convention survive?

"Seventy-Five Years of Protection: UN Refugee Convention Faces Growing Backlash As the world marks a pivotal milestone in the fight for human rights, the 1951 UN Refugee Convention is celebrating its 75th anniversary amidst a growing tide of anti-migration sentiment in the West. Signed in the aftermath of World War II, the convention established a universal framework for the protection of refugees, providing a safe haven for those fleeing persecution, war, and violence. However, the increasing popularity of nationalist and populist ideologies has led to a surge in anti-immigration policies, threatening the very principles of the convention. As governments grapple with the complexities of migration and asylum, the UN Refugee Convention's future remains uncertain, raising questions about the fate of those seeking refuge from conflict and oppression."
