REFUGEES - A CONTEMPORANEITY ISSUE
REFUGEES - A CONTEMPORANEITY ISSUE

Summary/Abstract: Migration is considered to be an exponent of contemporaneity and the emergence of this phenomenon, as well as the magnitude it acquires over time, captures unequivocally, the reasons why it tends to evolve, and these are placed in the sphere of wars, poverty, massive population growth in certain areas or climate change in African or Middle Eastern countries. The refugee problem is not a new one, but its recurrence in recent decades appears as a consequence of the many events that took place in the social and political sphere both in the European and and international space. Thus, the efforts to establish the notion of refugee reflect the way in which the concept has evolved over time, so that it is obvious that countless steps have been taken to outline a legislative framework designed to cover all existing gaps in the field of granting the refugee status. This approach therefore aims to set out the main trajectories of the notion of refugee, viewed both from a historical perspective, but especially under the dome of the most important documents that have been adopted in the field of refugee protection.
