The concept of complementary protection emerged in academia and practice for those who, though they do not have the essentials,are in need of protection. Complementary protection is considered not only a moral obligation, but also a legal obligation. Although as the result of developing the principle of "non-refoulement" in international law, "complementary protection" should be limited when economic and social rights are concerned. The development of the non-refoulement principle and the emergence of "complementary protection" are based on the Erga Omnes of human rights. The International Court of Justice has restricted the emergence and evolvement of obligations Erga Omnes within the scope of obligations concerning fundamental and non-derogable human rights, and therefore,the application of "complementary protection" in protecting economic and social rights has been limited. Only when the unbalance of economic and social rights has been serious enough to impact other fundamental human rights will the obligation of "complementary protection" ensue.展开更多

The rational construction of China’s refugee determination system is not only the need to comply with China’s obligations under the International Refugee Convention, but also the requirement for the protection of the legitimate rights of refugees in China. Under the current framework of international law and domestic law, we should gradually improve China’s legal system of refugee status determination, and we should determine refugee screening agencies and define their division of labor and powers rationally, according to the actual situation of China. In the meantime, we should attach importance to undertaking China’s international obligations and strengthening international cooperation in refugee relief.展开更多
