Every year hundreds of thousands of people leave their countries. Being different from normal immigrants, these people are effectively forced to leave their homeland. The reasons are different but they have one thing in common: they are afraid of going back. They are called refugees. The practice of granting asylum to people fleeing persecution in foreign lands is one of the earliest hallmarks of civilization. References to it have been found in texts written 3,500 years ago. According to International Refugee Law, a refugee is defined as a person who, outside his country of origin, is unable or unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country or to return to it for fear of persecution due to his race, religion, nationality. , belonging to a particular social group or political opinion. (Jastram, 2001) What drives them to leave their country and become refugees? How to solve the refugee problem? In reality, not all people forced to leave their country for the reasons indicated above are considered refugees. The term asylum seeker is different from that of refugee. An asylum seeker is defined as a person who has left their country of origin and has applied for recognition as a refugee in another country, but is still waiting for a decision on their application. (RefugeeCouncil, 2011) When people are forced to leave their country and immigrate to another such as the United States, they are called asylum seekers until their requests for refuge have been accepted. Usually, however, it takes some time for the asylum seeker to be recognized as protected, after which he or she is officially recognized as a refugee. According to 2011 data, the United States held the largest number of asylum seekers and refugees: 63,803 registered asylum seekers and 275,461 refugees. (UNHCR, 2011) The right to determine whether a person is a refugee or not is reserved by a certain agency in the host country. If an asylum seeker does not meet refugee resettlement standards which vary from country to country, they may be recognized as an illegal migrant. Some host countries often deport rejected asylum seekers after detention, as in the United Kingdom. The facts that cause refugees vary from region to region. The two causes I would like to describe here are political repression and ethnic conflict. In the term political repression, it refers to the pursuit of a certain political system that harms a certain nationality group.
