The Legal Protection for Refugees in the Sultanate of Oman.
View through CrossRef
The Sultanate of Oman is not a State party to the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (the 1951 Refugee Convention) and its 1967 Protocol, which establish refugee rights and obligations. In addition, there are no specific national laws or administrative regulations governing the right to asylum. However, the Basic Statute of the Sultanate of Oman and the Foreign Residency Law in Oman explicitly grant the right to asylum to a specific category of individuals, who are political refugees. The Basic Statute of Oman refers to political asylum briefly, while the Foreign Residency Law in Oman includes several rules that detail this right, from granting political asylum to withdrawal and deportation. In addition, there are cases of refugee protection based on practice that are related to domestic legal standards. This paper seeks to examine the current legal framework for the protection of refugees in Oman, the reality of refugees in Oman based on practice, and will also clarify the challenges that affect the asylum processes and refugee rights.Keywords: Protection, Refugees, asylum, foreigners'residency, Sultanate of Oman.
