The 1951 Refugee Convention is marking its 75th anniversary. This treaty was established after World War II to assist people fleeing war, violence, and persecution. It has played a crucial role in saving millions of lives.

Respect for the convention has faced challenges, with some countries denying entry to asylum seekers. The United States has also implemented policies that divert asylum seekers to third countries, a departure from its previous stance. Further information on the convention and its impact can be found through KSAT 12, including the stories of six refugees who have spoken out on the occasion of this anniversary.
