Abstract

Canada declared a resettlement program for 1200 Yazidi refugees on February 21, 2017 and implemented in one year after. This policy was decided by Canada when the global refugee crisis hit the world and several other countries chose to get rid of refugees. This paper aims to describe why Canada agreed to take Yazidi ethno-religious refugees. By utilizing a qualitative-explanatory with documentation of data collection techniques, this article attempts to analyze the policy consideration based on Marijke Breuning’s foreign policy theory. This study concludes that the receiving of Yazidi ethno-religious refugees is grounded more than a few factors, namely: Justin Trudeau’s character as Prime Minister, the second factor is related with domestic situation of Canada, and the last factor is the presence of the 1951 Geneva Convention and the 1967 Kyoto Protocol.
