| Oct 6 at 20:43 | comment | added | Gaslight Deceive Subvert | That's technically correct as the 1951 convention carves out an exemption for Palestinian refugees. However, it is the claim in the question, that Palestinian refugees enjoy privileges other refugees don't, that my answer addresses. That claim is incorrect. | |
| Oct 6 at 19:54 | comment | added | phoog | This answer cites the 1951 Refugee Convention relative to Palestinian refugees, but the terms of the 1951 convention exclude Palestinian refugees from its scope. Because of this exclusion, Palestinian refugees have a special status regardless of whether the defining criteria of the status are stricter, looser, or identical, and regardless of whether or under what conditions their children have the same status. | |

And even if one government agency in one country is giving refugee status to non-refugees, it doesn't mean that other countries are required to do this. This Wikipedia section contains interesting (though without citations) information on the matter: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refugee#Legal_definition | |
| May 18, 2017 at 20:27 | comment | added | Gaslight Deceive Subvert | Perhaps you can see this article instead?: "These mothers are seeking a precious document that would grant refugee status for their babies and provide some security in a land hundreds of miles away from home. In Nakivale, waiting has become a routine for the estimated 72,000 refugees currently located here." It really is standard operating procedure to register children of refugees as refugees. | |

| May 18, 2017 at 18:20 | comment | added | Gaslight Deceive Subvert | The refugee population in Nakivale has arrived in waves since the 50's and many have stayed for decades. People who are born to refugees are routinely registered with the UNHCR as refugees. It is a fairly non-controversial example of refugee status "being passed on to the next generation." Se f.e this interview study with refugees born in Nakivale. | |
| May 18, 2017 at 17:32 | comment | added | newenglander | Your example of a refugee camp opened in the 1950s is not an example of refugee status being passed on to the next generation, but simply the fact that there are still refugees from other conflicts coming to the country. According to the link you provided, the majority of the residents are from the DRC, which as you probably well know has been ravaged by war for decades. | |
