why hasn't the u.n.? there is the u.n. refugee agency which was created along with the '51 convention to address what was then principally a european problem of post world war ii refugees. but the system relies on individual countries actually having their own capacity to determine who is an asylum seeker and to have their own capacity to actually address the needs of asylum seekers who are determined to need protection and become refugees. i think its budget in 19$1990 - 1990 was about a billion dollars. today it's about $3 billion. not all countries accept unhcr. turkey doesn't allow it to do its work in turkey because turkey wants to have its own asylum system. you could make the case there should be a much bigger effort to have an international set of standards that are more rigorously applied with respect to asylum applications and adjudication of those applications but also standards. once somebody receives protection in a country, there could be common standards that could be implemented, access to schools, access t
