Zavrnjeni Sirci: Kršitve načela nevračanja v Turčiji, Libanonu in Jordaniji

Abstract

The article analyses the practices used by Turkey, Jordan and Lebanon to prevent Syrians from exercising their right to seek and enjoy asylum. The article consists of two sections. The first section examines how all three host countries violated the principle of non-refoulement by employing a range of unlawful practices (e.g. border closures and “pushbacks”, arbitrary detentions and deportations etc.). The second section examines how Lebanon resorted to practices that created circumstances for constructive refoulement of Syrian asylum seekers and refugees (e.g. shutting down the authority responsible for processing asylum claims, stripping Syrian refugees of their protected status etc.).Članek analizira prakse, ki so jih Turčija, Jordanija in Libanon uporabili z namenom, da sirskim državljanom preprečijo uveljavljanje pravice do iskanja in uživanja pribežališča pred preganjanjem. Članek je sestavljen iz dveh delov. Prvi del analizira, kako so vse tri države gostiteljice z uporabo nezakonitih praks kršile načelo nevračanja (npr. zapiranje meja in preprečevanje prehoda, samovoljno zapiranje in deportiranje itd.). Drugi del članka analizira, kako je Libanon uporabil prakse, ki so ustvarile pogoje za posredno prisilno vračanje sirskih iskalcev azila in beguncev (npr. zaprtje edine institucije, pristojne za obravnavanje prošenj za azil, odvzem statusa nekaterim sirskim beguncem itd.)
