Authors : Atmani Ali . Khadraoui Elhadi .

Abstract

Abstract: The phenomenon of environmental asylum and its repercussions on international relations is one of the issues that has captured the interest of many jurists, politicians and economists particularly in light of the various implications of this phenomenon on several countries. The growing number of environmental refugees is obviously due to the increasing frequency of natural and environmental disasters, as well as environmental degradation, the spread of epidemics, diseases, climate change, global warming among many other factors which has further exacerbated this phenomenon. Nevertheless, environmental migration has given rise to a number of inquiries, the most significant of which revolve around the recognition of the environmental migrant’s legal personality on both national and international levels, as well as the availability of legal protection for these migrants. Accordingly, we chose to title our paper: “An Analytical Overview of the Legal Protection of the Environmental Refugee”.
