Is it a country's obligation to resettle refugees?

Refugees are people who have fled their own countries and have lost or are unwilling to accept the protection of their own countries. Refugees have existed since ancient times, but there is still no universally accepted and accurate definition. The refugee problem has troubled the international community for a long time after the war, but it has not been solved fairly, reasonably and effectively. The reason is that the humanity and politics of the refugee problem are intricately intertwined, and humanity and politics are contradictory.

/kloc-at the end of 0/9, "refugees" appeared as a special category in American immigration policy. At that time, due to the end of the "Westward Movement", the United States no longer needed a large number of laborers and began to adopt a policy of restricting immigration. Congress specifically allowed "refugees" to enter the United States when formulating a series of measures aimed at restricting immigration. According to the regulations, "refugees" refer to "people who escape persecution or punishment for political or religious reasons". The main beneficiaries of this provision were Jews from Eastern Europe and later Armenians from Turkey. However, since 1893, the United States has strictly restricted the entry of foreigners who advocate socialism or anarchy, that is, radicals who escape political persecution in Europe, although they meet the definition of refugees. Therefore, the concept of "refugee" in the United States has also been influenced by political and ideological factors. ? Through the evolution of the concept of "refugee", we can see that "refugee" has a strong political color from the outside. On the one hand, refugees are caused by the political situation in the country of birth; On the other hand, the acceptance of refugees by other countries also depends on their political considerations, that is, their ideological likes and dislikes and their relationship with the countries where refugees are born.

From July to September, 2006, more than18,800 citizens from Afghanistan, Somalia and Iraq submitted asylum applications to the British government. According to UNHCR statistics, there are as many as 3 million illegal immigrants in Europe, and 300,000 to 500,000 illegal immigrants land in Europe every year. A British NGO "British Immigration Watch" found through investigation that 50,000 to 60,000 people's applications for political asylum are rejected by the British government every year, but only 1. 1.5 million people are repatriated. In addition, there are still 25,000 illegal immigrants who have not been discovered after entering the country every year, and 35,000 people have overstayed. The British opposition Conservative Party has repeatedly criticized the government for being "too soft on refugees with false and forged identities", arguing that this has not only caused too many social problems, but also objectively encouraged refugees from various countries to risk their lives and flock to Britain.
