Özet:

1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention) not only designated the criteria for the recognition of refugee status but also regulated the conditions upon which the status would be ceased. These conditions have been transferred to Foreigners and International Protection Act (FIPA) (Act Number 6458). FIPA enabled the cessation clauses to be applicable to conditional refugee status and subsidiary protection status as well as the refugee status. The purpose of this article is firstly to evaluate the interpretations of the cessation clauses of 1951 Convention by comparatively analysing UNHCR’s and doctrine’s recommendations together with the state practices; secondly to compare FIPA’s relevant provisions with the Convention’s; and thirdly to argue the function of the applicability of the Convention provisions to international protection statuses other than refugee status
