Summary/Abstract: Syrian humanitarian crisis reaching its 9th year strengthened the employment of its own legal statuses and terms. Before Syrian civil war and consequent human movement in thousands and ten thousands to other countries, the terms most frequently used to address displaced people were “refugees” and “asylum seekers” and 1951 UN Convention relating the Status of Refugees was the main legal document regulating these statuses. The extent of 21st century’s crisis exceeds the limit of these definitions.
