What about Canada's reservation to the convention?
The recent comment above to a five year old question here caught my eye. I'm vaguely interested in this topic, but not very knowledgeable about the details. I couldn't find any information in the current afrticle about "Canada's reservation", so I did some googling. That turned up "Declarations and Reservations". UNHCR. July 28, 1951. I don't know whether that is current, but it has the following to say about Canada:
CANADA
“Subject to the following reservation with reference to Articles 23 and 24 of the Convention:
"Canada interprets the phrase `lawfully staying' as referring only to refugees admitted for permanent residence: refugees admitted for temporary residence will be accorded the same treatment with respect to the matters dealt with in articles 23 and 24 as is accorded visitors generally."
I'll just requote that here for the information of editors wanting to comment. Wtmitchell (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 09:28, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
It is stated that three countries are party to the protocol, but not the convention. What is the practical result of that? This should be explained in the article. Z gin der 2013-10-19T02:26:52Z
So why aren't the Arabian Gulf countries, like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, et al, not interested in signing the convention?? Shame on these countries, they don't give a damn about foreigners and temporary foreign workers! They generally treat them with disdain. Most locals in these countries have forgotten that their own parents/ grandparents lived harsh lives too, without running water and without air-conditioning! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.127.54.164 ( talk) 13:41, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
Considering the current political climate in the US, UK, and elsewhere, would it be a good idea to lock down this article to dissuade vandalism? Darqcyde ( talk) 00:47, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: no consensus, default to previous stable title, Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Jenks24 ( talk) 19:07, 18 June 2015 (UTC)
United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees → Convention relating to the Status of Refugees – Please place your rationale for the proposed move here. --Relisted. George Ho ( talk) 00:41, 6 June 2015 (UTC) – L.tak ( talk) 06:40, 29 May 2015 (UTC)
