Exploring the Jurisprudence of Reception,Livelihoods,and Repatriation of Syrian Refugees in Jordan: A Rights-Based Perspective on Human Security and Legal Protections

Abstract

This study explores Jordanian jurisprudence on Syrian refugees, focusing on their rights to livelihoods and the complexities of repatriation through a human rights framework. Guided by UN General Assembly Resolution A/59/2005, the research employs qualitative content analysis to assess Jordan’s legal structures affecting hosting policies and access to livelihoods. Findings show that while Jordan offers significant education and healthcare access, economic rights are not fully realized, with limited entry into the labor market. The government encourages voluntary repatriation in partnership with UNHCR, emphasizing a rights-based approach that aims to strengthen refugee protections and promote social justice for vulnerable groups.
