Abstract

The phenomenon of environmental asylum and its repercussions on international relations is one of the issues that has captured the interest of many jurists, politicians and economists particularly in light of the various implications of this phenomenon on several countries. The growing number of environmental refugees is obviously due to the increasing frequency of natural and environmental disasters, as well as environmental degradation, the spread of epidemics, diseases, climate change, global warming among many other factors which has further exacerbated this phenomenon. Nevertheless, environmental migration has given rise to a number of inquiries, the most significant of which revolve around the recognition of the environmental migrant’s legal personality on both national and international levels, as well as the availability of legal protection for these migrants. Accordingly, the main problem of this research revolves around the following concern: To what extent do existing international and domestic legal frameworks provide effective protection for environmental refugees, and where are the principal normative and institutional gaps?.
