Abstract

The article analyzes the historical and political aspects of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, the history of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, the political roots of the issue of refugees and internally displaced persons, the ancient, medieval and modern stages of the problem. In the article, the author emphasizes that the refugee phenomenon has political roots, and even emphasizes the importance of the role of historical and political elements among the causes of this problem. Therefore, the history of international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons gives grounds to say that this problem is primarily a product of the system of interstate political and military relations, international political cataclysms and transnational conflict situations. The article emphasizes that the international protection of refugees and internally displaced persons in scientific sources on international relations stems from the practice of the first interstate, inter-tribal agreement. The article deals with the legal status of refugees and internally displaced persons, their return to their home countries, and even the punishment of refugees, etc. The regulation of such issues has been investigated. The article also addresses issues such as institutional measures taken in the early twentieth century for the international protection of refugees, the establishment of international organizations specializing in this field, the creation of a legal framework to ensure the international protection of refugees. At the same time, the article analyzes the formation of an improved legal framework for the adoption of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its Additional Protocol.
