Kenya's legal framework explicitly upholds the principle of non-refoulement, which prohibits the removal, deportation, or expulsion of individuals, including refugees and asylum-seekers, to countries where they may face serious human rights violations, persecution, torture, or other forms of harm. This fundamental protection is enshrined in Kenya’s Refugees Act, 2021, which aligns with international human rights and refugee law by guaranteeing that no individual seeking asylum shall be returned to a territory where their life, freedom, or dignity would be at risk. Additionally, Kenya is a signatory to key international instruments that reinforce this obligation, including the 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 Protocol, as well as the 1969 OAU Convention Governing the Specific Aspects of Refugee Problems in Africa. These treaties, along with domestic legislation, establish a robust legal framework designed to protect forcibly displaced individuals from refoulement. However, despite these legal guarantees, challenges in enforcement persist, with concerns over security-related deportations and restrictions on asylum access occasionally raised by human rights organizations. Nevertheless, Kenya’s adherence to these legal standards demonstrates its formal commitment to safeguarding the rights of refugees and asylum-seekers, in line with both national and international legal obligations.
