This case concerns the prohibition on ‘refoulement’. The expression ‘refoulement’ refers to a principle which condemns the rendering of a victim of persecution to his or her persecutor. Generally, the persecutor in question is a state actor. The principle that a person should not be refouled is a fundamental tenet of international law relating to refugees which protects them from being returned or expelled to places where their lives or freedoms may be threatened.
