 Who are the Kurds? What do they want? And why does nobody want to give it to them?

  日本でもよく問題になるけど、難民になんないのかなああ、

  Refugees are defined and protected in international law. The 1951 Refugee Convention is a key legal document and defines a refugee as: “someone who is unable or unwilling to return to their country of origin owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion.”

Kurds & the Refugee Crisis

Claiming asylum in Europe as an Iraqi Kurd

Only those having a strong claim of direct persecution and threats may obtain refugee status. Asylum procedures are long and require many details and evidence.

In many countries in Europe, the majority of asylum applications from Iraqi nationals are rejected – some European countries accept only 7% of Iraqi asylum applications – forcing many Iraqis to return after losing all the money they spent on the journey.

As an example, Finland recently updated its policy to state that Iraq is a safe country. As a consequence, all asylum applications from Iraqis will be rejected without individual consideration. According to a 2016 IOM report, Finland was second highest intended destination for Iraqis after Germany. Now, seeking asylum there is no longer an option.

なかなか難しいみたいだね。

　ときたまクルド人として生まれて、差別をうけるーーー不条理だね。
