What are the Human Rights of Refugees FIRST ?
Human Rights are universal, and civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights belong to all human beings, including refugees and internally displaced people. Refugees also enjoy certain human rights specifically linked to their particularly vulnerable status, including the right to seek asylum, to freedom from forcible return, to freedom of movement, to a nationality, and to receive protection and assistance in securing their basic economic, social and cultural rights.
