And there are good moral reasons for upholding those rights, too. While I agree that the legal issue is important, the moral arguments in favour of resettling refugees are the most important considerations. This is why the rights established by the Convention are not "arbitrary".

It is not moral to force people, under threat of violence or death, to abide by your morals. I have no problem with helping refugees so long as it is not compulsory to do so.
