It s often said that the shame over the refusal of Jewish refugees before World War Two, many of whom were murdered by the Naxi’s was the main reason for making countries willing to sign the 1951 Refugee Convention. However there was also a more recent scandal involving forced deportations of people to a totalitarian country, the forced repatriation of Soviet citizens at the end of World War Two. How much influence did the scandal of the the forced repatriation of Soviet citizens at the end of World War Two have on the 1951 Refugee Convention?
