Summary

As the above chapters have described, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees has recognized the Syrian refugee crisis as the world’s single largest refugee crisis since World War II. This chapter will analyze how the international community has attempted to deal with more than six million Syrians who have sought refuge around the globe while still protecting against the infiltration of terrorists. The global approach to the Syrian migration crisis, described in this chapter, includes novel legislation, executive and judicial actions, as well as new policy approaches related to the rights of Syrian refugees. This chapter will also examine how the Syrian refugee crisis affected the negotiation of the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact on Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, which were adopted in 2018. Finally, this chapter will assess whether the Syrian migration crisis has contributed to the development of new Grotian moments.
