This lecture explores the origins of the international refugee regime after WWI, tracing back to the League of Nations and the political turmoil in Europe and the Middle East. It delves into the differentiation between refugees and migrants, the legal protection for refugees, the role of the League of Nations, the creation of the UNHCR, and the support provided by organizations like the Red Cross. The lecture also discusses the Evian Conference and the new protection priorities post-WWII.
