"Western" is often used for this broader sense, but is also ambiguous and ill defined (the Wikipedia article on "Western World" is a huge mess, or at least it used to be). But, Italian Philosophers, if "European" includes AU/NZ then why list "American"? Aren't they as European as AU/NZ, or are you interested in Latin America as well as US/CA? | |

It gives an outline of the legislation about refugees/asylum seekers in UN countries, and an account of the actual situation. I mentioned it in my answer about Singapore, but for example you might be interested in the report on Uruguay (not sure if you count South American countries as having "European background" though). refworld.org/pdfid/5c52caf17.pdf | |

This accusation of systemic racism is often leveled at European countries, at North American countries, and yes, Australia as well. These are all primarily countries from a European/Caucasian background. Now, I am not saying they are not engaged in racism wrt refugees. I am asking what other countries, not of European background, that happen to be rich, are up to in that regard. | |
| Aug 26, 2023 at 9:17 | comment | added | J-J-J | I'm wondering if you meant "non-Western countries" rather than "non-European/American countries". For example, are you interested in the policies of Australia and New Zealand? | |

A country like Turkey which borders an active war zone is going to handle it very differently to somewhere that's hard for refugees to reach. Add to that the lack of definition of "rich" and you're just going to get anecdotes. | |
