International legal aspects of regulation of forced migration

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the international legal regulation of forced migration and the determination of prospects for its development. The opinion is expressed that the emergence of new technical means and methods of production, means of communication, changes in the social sphere of states, deformation of the geopolitical space and many other factors of a socio-economic and political nature caused the growth of migration flows in the world. It has been established that the state policy in the field of population migration is designed to ensure the regulation of population migration movements, overcoming their negative consequences both for the international community, each country in general, and each migrant in particular.
 It is noted that the Universal Mechanism for the Protection of the Rights of Forced Migrants is based on the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1951 and the Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1967. In addition, it is emphasized that an important role in ensuring the international protection of refugees and asylum seekers is also played by the Recommendations acts adopted within individual UN bodies, as well as other universal documents supplementing the specified legal array.
 Based on the analysis of scientific points of view and legislation, the author comes to the conclusion that the main norms of international and regional acts in the field of forced migration, which serve as guidelines for domestic systems of legislation and law enforcement, as well as for global tools for solving the problems of forced migration in general, are the principles non-discrimination, non-refoulement, family unity, interstate cooperation, international solidarity and observance of the best interests of the child. The need to create effective mechanisms for the implementation of international legal documents in the field of forced migration, to strengthen the international responsibility of states, and to determine the optimal methods of final or long-term solutions to the refugee problem was noted.
