How can states build a human rights-based refugee protection system?

The Right to International Protection (PROTECT) is an EU-funded research project studying the impacts of the UN’s Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration. The compacts are two non-binding frameworks promoting international responsibility-sharing as a key solution to handle refugee flows. By studying how the Compacts are received and implemented in different countries, and how they interact with existing legal frameworks and governance architectures, PROTECT investigates the Compacts’ impact on refugees’ right to international protection.

This research is carried out by the PROTECT Consortium, which is an international consortium of 12 universities, led by the University of Bergen: protectproject.w.uib.no/partners/
