Refugee law encompasses both customary law, peremptory norms, and international legal instruments.
The only international instruments directly applying to refugees are the 1951 United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and the 1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees. Bot...h the Convention and the Protocol are open to states, but each may be signed separately. 145 states have ratified the Convention, and 146 have ratified the Protocol. This is the key document to refugee protection plus the text of the Protocol, which removed a deadline and geographical restrictions from the Convention.

As of September 2022, just over one million forced
migrants from Ukraine have entered Germany, making Germany the third largest recipient of migrants
(Ukraine Refugee Situation, 2022).
As early as March 2022, several news outlets reported that accommodation centers were at or near
capacity in ma...ny German states and lacked the resources to quickly register new arrivals (Süddeutsche
Zeitung, 2022; Herz, 2022). Consequently, some states asked for the use of the Königstein Key —
an algorithm used to redistribute forced migrants to different states based on each state’s capacity.5
Depending on which state forced migrants arrive in or where they relocate to, their first stop is typically
a reception facility where they are able to register, begin the asylum application procedure, and access
support services

Immer wieder hören wir – in der inzwischen jahrzehntelangen
Lobbyarbeit der BAG – aus der Politik die Bitte, das Problem
der medizinischen Unterversorgung von Menschen ohne Papiere
zu „bebildern“: Wer sind diese Menschen? Wo liegen die Probleme in der gesundheitlichen Versorgung? Vor ...welchen praktischen Problemen, d.h. Sachzwängen, bürokratischen und rechtlichen Hürden stehen die Helfenden in den Anlaufstellen, die dort Hilfe leisten, wo der Zugang zum Gesundheitssystem versperrt ist? Die hier geschilderten Fälle aus der medizinischen Praxis sollen das humanitäre Problem besser nachvollziehbar machen.

"Die folgende Reflexions- und Praxishilfe basiert auf den Seminarerfahrungen von glokal mit Unterstützungsgruppen und aus der Empowerment-Arbeit mit Geflüchteten. Sie ist entstanden in der gemeinsamen Arbeit mit unterschiedlichster Teilnehmer*innen, die wesentliche Aspekte zu der Liste beigetragen... haben. Wir hoffen, dass die Fragen der Liste eine Hilfe sind, um über de eigene Unterstützungsarbeit und die eigene Gruppe nachzudenken. Die Fragen sollen den Blick auf Vorurteile und Diskriminierung schärfen und dabei helfen Rassismus innerhalb der Gruppe zu erkennen und abzubaün." (glokal e.V., Willkommen ohen Paternalismus, 2017)
