Abstract

This article examines the complex landscape of refugee protection in Jordan and Lebanon. Both countries, despite hosting millions of refugees, have not ratified the 1951 Refugee Convention or its 1967 Protocol. Consequently, they rely on temporary arrangements and ad hoc policies that leave refugees vulnerable. The study compares the legal frameworks and service provision in both nations, analyses their dependence on international aid, and discusses the broader economic and political challenges shaping refugee management in the region. Policy recommendations are provided to encourage the development of sustainable legal and institutional solutions.
