The 1951 Refugee Convention marks its 75th anniversary amidst a global crisis of forced displacement. The convention, born from the aftermath of World War II, offered life-saving protection to millions, including the author, who stresses its continued relevance. Today, record numbers of people are fleeing conflict, persecution, and climate change, desperately needing the same safeguards. The author emphasizes the importance of upholding the convention's principles as a fundamental moral and legal obligation. Maintaining access to international protection is crucial for ensuring the safety and dignity of refugees worldwide. Without consistent support for the convention, countless individuals will be left vulnerable and without hope. The world must renew its commitment to the promise it made 75 years ago.
