MÜLTECİ KİMDİR?


1951 Cenevre Sözleşmesi'ne göre mülteci, "ırkı, dini, milliyeti, belirli bir sosyal gruba üyeliği veya siyasi görüşü nedeniyle zulüm görme korkusuyla" ülkesinden kaçan kişidir. Hükümeti onu koruyamadığı veya korumak istemediği için geri dönemez veya geri dönmeyecektir. Birleşmiş Milletler, bu kişiler için alıcı ülkeler bulmak amacıyla ulusal hükümetlerle birlikte çalışır. Amerika Birleşik Devletleri her yıl dünyanın dört bir yanından binlerce mülteci kabul etmektedir. Mülteciler, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin davetli misafirleridir. Yasal ikametgah sahibidirler ve statülerinin tüm ayrıcalıklarından yararlanabilmelidirler.

SIV KİMDİR?


ABD Dışişleri Bakanlığı'nın "Özel Göçmen Vizesi" programı, Afganistan ve Irak'taki çatışmalar sırasında ABD askeri güçlerine kritik destek sağlayan cesur erkekler (ve bazı kadınlar) için tasarlanmıştır. Bu program kapsamında gelen göçmenlere "SIV" denir ve (mülteciler gibi) Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'ne girmeden önce uzun ve kapsamlı bir güvenlik soruşturmasından geçmek zorundadırlar. Afganistan/Irak savaş bölgelerinde ABD'ye olan bağlılıkları nedeniyle, SIV komşuları ve aileleri kendi ülkelerinde güvende değildir.
