Abstract. The article deals with forced migration in the field of international law. The object of the study is social relations that are formed in the process of legal support of forced migration, legal regulation of the status of refugees and asylum seekers. The subject of the study are the norms of international treaties and conventions of the United Nations, norms of primary and secondary law of the European Union, which regulate the status of forced migrants, internally displaced persons, displaced persons, refugees and asylum seekers. The methods used in the research are: historical, general methods of comparison, analysis and synthesis, systemic and structural approaches, comparative legal, some special and private, as well as formal legal methods. It is noted that the analysis of legal and political acts of the United Nations allows us to assert the formation of an independent direction of international organizations - the field of forced migration and the general international system of asylum and protection. The legal regulation of forced migration is a complex set of norms, principles and institutions that directly or indirectly affect the functioning of the general asylum system and its elements. The array of international legal norms in the field of forced migration can be characterized as a separate independent sub-branch of migration law that regulates heterogeneous social relations that arise and develop in connection with the involuntary nature of migration of foreign citizens or stateless persons, including: in the field of content legal status of migration, determination of those responsible for consideration of requests for international or supplementary protection, reception and accommodation of migrants crossing borders, control and protection in the field of external borders in the context of forced migration.
