The Ethics of Immigration Law in India: Navigating Human Rights and National Security

Author(s) Dr. Subholaxmi Mukherjee
Country India
Abstract This paper explores the ethical dimensions of immigration law in India, focusing on the complex and often conflicting paradigms of human rights and national security. In an era of heightened global migration and increasing geopolitical volatility, India’s response to immigration—particularly in the absence of a comprehensive refugee or asylum law—raises critical moral and legal questions. The paper critically examines the moral legitimacy of state actions concerning refugees, asylum seekers, and stateless individuals, with special reference to contentious policies such as the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), the National Register of Citizens (NRC), and the treatment of Rohingya refugees. Drawing on ethical theories like utilitarianism, deontological ethics, and human rights-based approaches, the analysis highlights the challenges of balancing sovereign interests with constitutional and humanitarian obligations. It further evaluates judicial interventions and policy gaps, emphasizing the urgent need for ethical reforms, legal codification, and transparent asylum mechanisms. The paper argues that an ethically informed immigration framework is essential for upholding India’s democratic values and international commitments.
