Regulations on Refugees in the Law of the Russian Federation

Öz

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, modern Russia entered a new era of international legal relations. Although Russia is the legal successor of the USSR, as an independent subject of international law (IL), it began to join international treaties for the first time after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Thus, Russia 1992 acceded to the Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (hereinafter referred to as UNCSR). Based on this Convention, Russia adopted its own Federal Law on Refugees (hereinafter referred to as FLR) in 1993. According to the 1993 FLR, the legal status of refugees in the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as RF) is being revealed. The article considers the Constitutional and legal framework for the rights of refugees in the course of granting them asylum. Also is established what role the norms of IL (in our case, UNCSR) play in the legal system of the RF following the Constitution. In the course of the implementation of legal mechanisms in granting refugee status, today the institution of asylum in Russia is experiencing certain problems. The reasons for existing problems are analyzed. A small comparative legal analysis of the FLR with the 1951 UNCSR is carried out. In addition to the legal status of refugees, this work touches upon some of the problems of forced migrants

Rusya Federasyonu Hukukunda Mültecilere İlişkin Düzenlemeler

Öz

Sovyetler Birliği'nin çöküşünden sonra, modern Rusya uluslararası hukuk ilişkilerinde yeni bir çağa girdi. Rusya, SSCB'nin yasal halefi olmasına rağmen, uluslararası hukukun (IL) bağımsız bir konusu olarak, Sovyetler Birliği'nin çöküşünden sonra ilk kez uluslararası anlaşmalara katılmaya başladı. Böylece, Rusya 1992, Mültecilerin Statüsü Sözleşme'sini (bundan böyle UNCSR olarak anılacaktır) kabul etti. Bu Sözleşmeye dayanarak, Rusya 1993 yılında kendi Federal Mülteci Yasası’nı (bundan sonra FLR olarak anılacaktır) kabul etti. 1993 FLR'ye göre, Rusya Federasyonu'ndaki (bundan böyle RF olarak anılacaktır) mültecilerin yasal statüsü değerlendiriliyor Makale, mültecilere sığınma hakkı verilmesi için anayasal ve yasal çerçeveyi ele almaktadır. Ayrıca, uluslararası hukuk normlarının (bizim durumumuzda, UNCSR) Anayasa'yı takiben RF hukuk sisteminde nasıl bir rol oynadığı da belirlenmiştir. Mülteci statüsü verilmesinde yasal mekanizmaların uygulanması boyunca, bugün Rusya'daki iltica kurumu belirli sorunlar yaşamaktadır. Mevcut sorunların nedenleri analiz edilmeye çalışıldı. FLR'nin 1951 UNCSR ile küçük bir karşılaştırmalı yasal analizi yapıldı. Mültecilerin yasal statüsüne ek olarak, bu çalışma zorla göç edenlerin bazı sorunlarına da değiniyor
