Notes

1. UNCHR defines the need for ‘international protection’ as arising when a “person is outside their own country and unable to return home because they would be at risk there, and their country is unable or unwilling to protect them. Risks that give rise to a need for international protection classically include those of persecution, threats to life, freedom or physical integrity arising from armed conflict, serious public disorder or different situations of violence”: UN High Commissioner for Refugees. 2017. “Refworld | Persons in need of international protection.” https://www.refworld.org/docid/596787734.html.
