Non-refoulement

Non-refoulement is a principle of international law which forbids the rendering of a true victim of persecution to their persecutor. Generally the persecutor in mind is a state actor. It is a principle of both the customary and trucial law of nations. Non-refoulement is a key facet of refugee law, that concerns the protection of refugees from being returned or expelled to places where their lives or freedoms could be threatened. Unlike political asylum, which applies to those who can prove a well-grounded fear of persecution based on membership in a social group or class of persons, non-refoulement refers to the generic repatriation of people, generally refugees into war zones and other disaster areas. It is debatable whether non-refoulement is a jus cogens of international law that forbids the expulsion of a refugee into an area, usually their home-country, where the person might be again subjected to persecution.
