- Abstract
The general aim of the analysis, that we are involved in, is devoted to exploring the EU possibilities -- institutional, civil society, and volunteer persons - to improve the support for the Internationally Displaced Persons (IDPs), commonly called "refugees"; to grant its sustainability. It introduces two main ideas. The first idea is that the international "refuge" is a process that is to be understood and managed in five main stages 1. Admission, 2. Transit, 3. Insertion, - 4. International Protection Status or Subsidiary Protection Status received 5. Voluntary repatriation. The second main idea proposed is to take into consideration that in any process of the refuge and refugees' protection, there are two parts a) those who assume the duty to protect and b) the protegees. Accordingly, the protection should have its peculiarities for each stage. In addition, each of the two parts sees the facts from its own angle. The protectors understand and project the refuge's management from the perspective of the costs involved and that of the available resources and efforts to solve the problems. The protegees see their needs and to what extent these are met. They also see their undeserved suffering. Accordingly, they expect to be assisted to put an end to the refuge cauchemar as soon as possible. To harmonize the perspectives and to conciliate the needs with the available resources, is to put both perspectives together, to enlarge the concept on what the process supposes. To communicate the concept of refuge which encompass the mentioned perspectives -- among the officers, NGOs' members, volunteers that took the mission to support the refugees and further among the receiving communities' members - is a necessity. It is also to deploy efforts to deeply communicate on the refugees' needs and issues among the actors mentioned above. In parallel, it is to develop the communication on the assistance and on its limits (caused by the limited available resources) to the refugees and among them. To contribute to this communication, we elaborate the schema of the refuge' stages, with their main contents seen from both the parts involved. On the other hand, we introduce the Pyramid of the Refugees' needs. To concretize the theory, we also are trying to present Romania's politico-legislative frameworks in the special case of the massive influx of internationally displaced persons (IDPs) and its effectiveness on the Ukrainian "refugees", de facto IDP protection, according to the UN, adopted by the EU too, minimum standards. Here below we focus only on the schema of the stages.
