Approaches to International Protection in the European Union, Türkiye and the United States0 aMaking the Temporary Permanent Approaches to International Prote  a193-2020 v143 a<p>The question of temporary protection has risen in prominence and generated a growing body of scholarship since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and the resulting activation of the EU&rsquo;s long-dormant Temporary Protection Directive for the benefit of persons forced to flee Ukraine. In this special section we examine the practical implementation of temporary protection in Poland, a key host EU member state for Ukrainians. We also widen the scholarly inquiry into temporary protection beyond the EU to examine the approach of other important destination states, namely, Türkiye and the United States. The contributions to this special section illustrate a number of key features of temporary protection, including that it is neither a new response to forced migration, nor confined to the Global North. They also make clear that the increasing recourse to temporary protection for persons seeking refuge outside their countries of origin entails not only fixed-term protection statuses but also, often, an accompanying suite of rights that falls short of that traditionally associated with refugee status. While highlighting some key disadvantages endured by temporary protection beneficiaries, such as precarity and uncertainty, the contributions also identify the benefits of such protection, both for host states and some beneficiaries. Collectively, the contributions to this special section sketch the pitfalls that must be avoided if the increasingly widespread recourse to temporary protection is to unfold in a manner that benefits not only host states but also those in need of those states&rsquo; protection.</p>10ainternational protection; Temporary Protection Directive; Refugee Convention; non-refoulement; voluntary1 aDesmond, Alan1 aInlender, Talia1 aKowalska, Kamila  uhttps://www.ceemr.uw.edu.pl/content/making-temporary-permanent-approaches-international-protection-european-union-t-rkiye-and
