Natalia has sought refugee protection for persecution on the basis of her race in her country of nationality. Natalia was recently arrested for trafficking cocaine
Natalia has sought refugee protection for persecution on the basis of her race in her country of nationality. Natalia was recently arrested for trafficking cocaine and possession of a weapon. There has been a movement in the international community to control illicit trafficking and Canada has declared the war on drugs not long ago. As a result, the maximum sentence for drug trafficking is now 25 years or life imprisonment. Would Natalia's refugee protection be subject to exclusion under Article 1F(b) of the Refugee Convention?
- Yes, because illicit trafficking has been explicitly declared by the UN as contrary to the purposes and principles of the UN, and international instruments have indicated that trafficking is a serious violation of fundamental human rights
- Yes, because the maximum sentence is more than ten years and therefore Natalia's crime is considered serious.
- No, it would not as Natalia's crime is considered political.
- No, because drug trafficking is not sufficient serious to violate fundamental human rights
