dc.description | The challenge under consideration in these presentations is how best to renovate the structures of the present global system for the protection of refugees. The specific focus of our inquiry is to analyze the value and viability of shifting to a more managed system of protection under which protection burdens and responsibilities are shared-out among states in a manner that dependably promotes respect for refugee rights. | en_US |
dc.description.abstract | Our system addresses the unmaterialized state responsibilities promulgated in the 1951 Refugee Convention, as well as the failures of our current ad-hoc system: inhumanity, unpredictability, instability, inefficiency, inequity, lack of transparency, and unenforceability. Proposal: We propose a new UN Protocol that seeks to establish a binding system of tradable refugee protection quotas. Quotas: Quotas allocate responsibilities to states to ensure Convention-granted refugee rights by contributing financially and/or through human responsibility sharing, but 20 percent of each state’s quota is non-tradable and must be materialized through human responsibility sharing. Allocation: Quotas are allocated by an equation that accounts for states’ aggregated capacity to provide both human protection and financial contribution. Trade: In order to optimize quota allocations, increase state autonomy, and strengthen refugee protection outcomes, states may trade for up to 80 percent quota relief through a centralized system. Binding: In its end state, this system will be binding for all participating states through a UN Protocol. | en_US |
