Abstract
This study examines an analytical assessment of the interactions between international refugee law and human rights law by focusing how this interaction underlines the new wave of legal protection for refugees and their rights. Notwithstanding the fact that both laws are initially conceived as two distinct branches of public international law , their multifaceted interaction is well acknowledged in formatting common legal goals.However,the normative impact of their relationships has been rarely considered in how it reinforces the development protection to refugee in the context of both laws.To this point,this study argues that the legal instrumentals,international treaties and the practices of monitoring by the UN’s agencies within the human rights law has radically informed and transformed the legal protection for the refugee.This is to an extent that the normative framework of refugee protections and migration rights has been developed more positively in offering legal solution for migrant and refugee crisis. In doing so,the nature of this relationship and its role impacts on the subject matter of refugee protection will be explored by adopting a historical analysis method.
The structure of this study has been divided into three sections.The first section presents the international protection of refugees in the lights of refugee law, then,the second section sheds the light on the sources and mechanisms of international protection for refugees,and finally the third section elucidates the legal and international protection of refugees and how to strengthen it through international human rights law.
