<![CDATA[The non-refoulement principle, a cornerstone of international refugee and human rights law, prohibits the forced return of individuals to territories where they face persecution, torture, or threats to life. This research examines the role of this principle in safeguarding war victims seeking asylum, particularly amid escalating global conflicts. The study highlights the principle’s significance in balancing state sovereignty with humanitarian obligations, while addressing gaps in its implementation. Utilizing a normative juridical approach, the analysis draws on international conventions, customary law, and judicial decisions to evaluate the legal framework and state practices. Findings reveal that despite its recognition as a peremptory norm, inconsistent adherence by states, geopolitical interests, and ambiguous exceptions undermine its efficacy. The research argues for strengthened multilateral cooperation, clearer guidelines on exceptions, and enhanced accountability mechanisms to ensure compliance. Recommendations include capacity-building for host states, equitable responsibility-sharing, and integrating refugee protections into conflict-resolution strategies. This study contributes to discourse on refining international legal instruments to uphold the rights of displaced populations in an increasingly volatile global landscape.]]>
