The International Association of Refugee and Migration Judges (IARMJ) promotes recognition that the right to seek protection from persecution on grounds such as race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, or political opinion is firmly established under international law, and that decisions on refugee status must adhere to the rule of law.
