protection  

Definition

  • The concept of protection at the most basic level relates to issues around dignity, safety, human rights, and the international humanitarian legal framework for addressing the survival needs of refugees, asylum seekers, children, and other such “persons of concern.” “Person of concern” refers to an individual who for other reasons has approximately similar situation and experiences to those of asylum seekers, for example, stateless people and internally displaced persons. The nature of contemporary crises and disasters necessitates that a range of actors meet their international legal obligations and accept accountability for their actions with regard to vulnerable people under their jurisdiction or control.
