The Controversial Return of Syria to the Arab League.
The Arab League's decision to readmit Syria has raised concerns among Syrian refugees that they may be forced to return to their home country despite potential threats to their lives. More than 14 million Syrians fled their homes following the civil war between President Bashar al-Assad and opposition forces. Advocates of Syria's re-admission to the Arab League argue that it is part of an attempt to find an "Arab solution" to the Syrian crisis. However, human rights organizations have repeatedly warned that Syrian refugees risk facing forced returns home amid concerns for their safety.
