Especially, until the second part of the 20th century, people were escaping from their country due to the persecutions practiced by their states, but because of states‟ sovereign authority on their citizens and none of the awareness of international community, this situation was not seen worth as preserving in the international arena. After 2nd World War, with new international community order, the individuals has no longer started to enter under the protection of international community. Particularly, the state of individuals who have been displaced because of war and have been none of protection, has aroused discomfort in international community.
