Abstract: The Syrian Crisis has taken unexpected turns and has been on the news since its eruption in 2011. The crisis gained considerable momentum which led Syrian people to flee the country in masses. The neighboring countries like: Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey have taken the lion’s share of the stricken refugees. As the country has been engulfed in chaos, the masses headed to Europe via Turkey or crossing the Mediterranean Sea. The European countries were hit by refugees’ waves not only Syrians but also from other countries too which led to the issuing of new norms and laws to host the unprecedented number of new comers. The process of taking in refugees as asylum seekers or individuals for need of protection until their country is safe again gathered many international powers to deal with the matter. The European Law in compliance with international law had to face the situation of these refugees. It had to adapt and limit the overflow of refugees that eventually would pose an imminent threat to the host societies’ stability. The flood of immigrants every year to Europe since conflict and war broke in the Middle East and North Africa left the E.U and the neighboring countries divided on how to approach the growing concerns over the refugees’ crisis.
