The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the structure of the administrative-legal status of refugees in the Republic of Moldova, in light of recent migratory crises, particularly the one caused by the armed conflict in Ukraine. The author emphasizes the need to redefine and strengthen this legal status through the lens of fundamental human rights, Moldova’s international obligations, and the demands of a democratic and effective public administration. The article highlights the complexity of the refugee status as a legal institution, composed of interrelated components: rights, obligations, legal guarantees, administrative relationships, citizenship, and legal responsibility. The study also examines the challenges faced in the integration process of refugees and advocates for a balanced and systemic approach to their protection. The research findings are based on legal, doctrinal, and comparative analysis and include concrete proposals for improving the national legal framework on refugee protection.
