Jordan is not a signatory of the 1951 humanitarian refugees' treaty or its 1967 optional protocol. However, Jordan in 1998 signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the UNHCR. Therefore, Jordan is legally obligate to receive refugees. As a result of the 2011 Syrian civil war, hundreds of thousands of refugees fled to Jordan. Syrian refugees have become a dilemma for Jordan, giving UNHCR, donor states, and the international community's failure to fulfill their obligations towards Jordan fully. This article reviews Refugees' protection under the global legal system It informs Jordanian and UNHCR's legal and institutional framework while handling Syrian refugees' issues. It also evaluates Jordan's response to Syrian refugees and the challenges that have faced Jordan since 2011. Finally, the study examines whether or not UNHCR, donor countries, and the international community are committed to Jordan's obligations.
约旦不是1951年《人道主义难民条约》或其1967年《任择议定书》的签署国。然而,约旦在1998年与联合国难民署签署了一项《谅解备忘录》。因此,约旦在法律上有义务接收难民。2011年叙利亚内战导致数十万难民逃往约旦。叙利亚难民已成为约旦的一个难题,这是由于联合国难民署、捐助国以及国际社会未能充分履行其对约旦的义务。本文回顾了全球法律体系下的难民保护情况。它介绍了约旦和联合国难民署在处理叙利亚难民问题时的法律和体制框架。它还评估了约旦对叙利亚难民的应对措施以及2011年以来约旦所面临的挑战。最后,该研究考察了联合国难民署、捐助国和国际社会是否履行了对约旦的义务。
