    La protection des réfugiés au Burundi : les défis d’une appropriation par le droit national
    (UB, Ecole doctorale, 2023-12) Mpabansi, Pamphile
    The protection of refugees in Burundi: the challenges of appropriation by national law After nearly half a century of welcoming and protecting refugees and asylum seekers in Burundi without any national institution specifically responsible for this task, Burundi has finally set up in 2008 the National Office for the Protection of Refugees and Stateless Persons (ONPRA). Fourteen years after the start of its activities, the analysis of the legal framework and practice on the ground proves that the appropriation of this competence for the reception and protection of refugees and asylum seekers formerly reserved for the High Commissioner for United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR) observes certain shortcomings. These shortcomings observed require reforms both at the administrative level and at the level of the legal framework. At the administrative level, such reforms are necessary with regard to finances, the training of personnel involved in the protection of these people who request international protection and asylum authorities. As for the legal framework, concrete normative measures are necessary, especially for certain provisions that do not comply with international norms and standards.
