摘要

This article examines the underlying reasons for alleged violations against refugees committed by signatory states of the 1951 Refugee Convention, focusing on the phenomenon in the United States (US), Australia, and Türkiye. A qualitative approach and document analysis method were employed, drawing from a range of sources including the 1951 Refugee Convention, national legislation, institutional reports, statistical data, books, and relevant scholarly articles. The findings indicate that both the US and Australia justify their actions based on security concerns, albeit by highlighting different issues, whereas Türkiye primarily invokes economic reasons to legitimize measures that disregard refugee rights. In response to these findings, the study proposes several roles that social workers can play, tailored to the unique circumstances of each country. These include launching storytelling-based social media campaigns to shape positive public perceptions towards refugees in the US; empowering civil society as a pressure group to drive policy change in Australia; and providing post-entrepreneurship training support and promoting digital financial literacy in Türkiye.
