Overview

Analysis reveals the National Screening Mechanism faces limitations in protecting asylum seekers, suggesting a need for better rights-based approaches in Thailand's refugee protection framework.

Key Points

  • The National Screening Mechanism seeks to address the needs of urban asylum seekers in Thailand, yet significant vulnerabilities persist.
  • Securitization and exclusionary practices undermine the human rights-based approach intended for refugee protection.
  • Qualitative analysis included interviews and documentary reviews to assess legal principles affecting urban refugees.
  • Limitations in rights and protections indicate ongoing challenges in implementing comprehensive humanitarian policies.
