Abstract

The study focuses on the evolution of legal framework in Jordan and Lebanon concerning asylum issues, identifies deficiencies, and proposes potential avenues for reform and improvement. The paper also explores the historical aspect of asylum within these nations, highlighting the three distinct waves of asylum that have occurred in their contemporary history. The paper further discusses the evident lack of coherence within the legal frameworks, the legal discrepancy, and the lack of a realistic approach to immigration waves. The paper also examines the role of the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) in facilitating the progress made by these Arab countries in addressing asylum issues. The paper concludes with a discussion of housing and mobility issues faced by refugees in both countries. The research provides valuable insights into the complexities and challenges of managing refugee populations in Jordan and Lebanon.
