Abstract

Refugee protection is all about Human Rights protection. Because of the prevalence of pushing and pulling factors people may flee from their place of origin and cross the boards of foreign states. Refugees need special protection in the country of asylum since they are out of state protections. Although different effort has been made by the international community so as to solve the problem of refugees, until the adoption of the Refugee Convention, there were no international standards that determine the right and duties of refugees in the world. Local integration is one of the three durable solutions for refugees who had stayed for a protracted period of time in the country of asylum available to refugees in the Refugee Convention but it’s really found in many domestics’ laws. Even if Ethiopia had a good track record of receiving refugees from different countries, but there was no compressive law that governs the issue until recent time. The current Refugee Proclamation is one of the progressive refugee laws which allow local integration for refugee. However, the law is not compatible with international standards. Accordingly, the definition is circular and is not clear as to the application and implementation of local integration though the country has a robust tradition of receiving refugees in the country.
