The paper explores the basis of the responsibilities we owe to refugees. That we have such responsibilities is a very widely shared intuition: the need of those fleeing from persecution seems to call out for a response on our part.

The paper argues in favour of a human rights approach to refugee protection that includes the requirement of the implementation of a burden sharing scheme.
