Abstract

The phenomenon of environmental asylum is a phenomenon that is very
common nowadays. It is increasing continuously and repeatedly. However, the
international community avoids admitting this phenomenon for political and economic
reasons. Since the international law does not of the environmental immigrants as
refugees, it is necessary to search for the reasons and jJustifications that lead them to
mislead the protection of public international law. Despite the absence of international
rules for environmental refugees, states as well as international governmental and nongovernmental organizations resort to certain mechanisms when natural disasters occur
in order to reduce their effects, including those adopted by states before the disaster
strikes, such as organizational preparedness, early warning, as well as providing shelter
and food…etc. These mechanisms directly affect the phenomenon of environmental
asylum positively because the ability of the state to manage the disasters and to
coordinate for relief operations provided for the victims will certainly reduce the
number of environmental refugees
