“…(1) the general definition of the term "refugee" (Article 1) is given; (2) provision of minimum standards for the rights of refugees, non-discrimination in the treatment of refugees, freedom of religion, and the guarantee of social, economic and political rights; (3) securing the ban on the expulsion or forced return of refugees; consolidating the foundations of naturalization and assimilation of refugees. As Laura Thompson, Deputy Director-General of the International Organization for Migration emphasizes, the main element in the concept of "refugee" is persecution and impossibility / unwillingness to take advantage of the protection of their state [21]. The Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees of 1967 abolishes the geographical and time constraints set out in the original version of the Convention on the Status of Refugees, the scope of which is not limited to States Parties to the Convention.…”

Introduction:The article deals with the issues of international law concerning defense of the right to health of involuntarily displaced persons. As a result of the study, it has been demonstrated that providing of the right to health is essential as a requirement for countries, which, in turn, stem from consensus on international cooperation and general support for migrants. The latter are undeniably protected in accordance with documents proclaiming human rights, but for the sake of a more detailed explanation of their rights and the substance of the state's obligations towards such persons, the international community has created a solid foundation in the form of specialized refugee documents that further emphasize the need protection of the latter as persons who, as a result of their movement, are vulnerable. The aim: To elucidate the international mechanisms for the protection of the right to health of involuntarily displaced persons. Materials and methods:The study used a set of general-philosophical and special-legal methods of scientific research, in particular, dialectical, historical, socio-political, formal-legal and comparative legal methods of scientific research. The historical method of scientific research has been used in the analysis of tendencies of the regulation of the refugee problem from the beginning of the 20th century. The comparative legal method is used in the analysis of the legal regulation of involuntarily displaced persons' rights by international treaties and conventions, rules of national legislation of Ukraine and foreign legislation. Review: Authors analyze the issue of a migrant's (social, medical etc.) rights under the principle of equality of refugees' and citizens' rights. Reviewing the mechanisms of guarding such rights under treaties it is obvious that these mechanisms have legislative and institutional features. Closer look is taken on the Council of Europe's mechanism for protecting the rights of refugees with its own normative and institutional features. Conclusions: As a result of the study, it has been demonstrated that migrants' rights, including right to health, stem from consensus on international cooperation and general support for migrants. The latter are undeniably protected in accordance with the documents proclaiming human rights. In order to provide a more detailed explanation of their rights and the nature of the state's obligations towards such persons, the international community has created a solid foundation in the form of specialized refugee documents, which further emphasize the need to protect the latter as persons who, as a result of their displacement, are vulnerable.

Various States have resorted to stringent border controls as irregular migrants sought to enter their territories within the past few years. These externalised border controls are sometimes, strictly enforced to the extent that irregular migrants-particularly vulnerable migrants such as unaccompanied minor children are arbitrarily detained in detention centres-the living conditions of which are in express violation of various international human rights treaties. This article examines the validity of these border controls which continue to negate the human rights of these irregular migrant children, and the role which the international community plays in upholding these established human rights The article discusses the extent to which these externalized border controls are enforced in Australia and across the European Union in law and in practice. The article concludes by proffering recommendations which facilitate a global harmonised governance system for irregular migrant children.
