Traducción de la versión inglesa del 2015
Das „Abkommen über die Rechtsstellung der Flüchtlinge“- wie der eigentliche Titel der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention (GFK) lautet – wurde am 28. Juli 1951 verabschiedet. Bis heute ist die GFK das wichtigste internationale Dokument für den Flüchtlingsschutz. Die Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention... war zunächst darauf beschränkt, hauptsächlich europäische Flüchtlinge direkt nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zu schützen. Um den geänderten Bedingungen von Flüchtlingen weltweit gerecht zu werden, wurde der Wirkungsbereich der Konvention mit dem Protokoll von 1967 sowohl zeitlich als auch geografisch erweitert. Insgesamt 147 Staaten sind bisher der Genfer Flüchtlingskonvention und/oder dem Protokoll von 1967 beigetreten.
