Egypt is on the brink of ratifying a new asylum law, shifting responsibility from the UNHCR to its own government systems to manage refugees.
With the new law, the Egyptian government will have a legal framework to decide on asylum requests, affecting millions currently without official status.
Rights groups criticize the legislative move, viewing it as a loss of oversight by the UN and organizations advocating for refugee rights.
Egypt's handling of refugees has come under scrutiny, especially amid the ongoing regional crises, raising concerns about human rights implications.
