Refugee Crisis and Human Rights : India on the path to empathy and solutions

Author(s) Tania Mondal

Abstract Human rights have been an important issue since the beginning of human civilization. Since the Second World War, indiscipline and displacement have taken a continuous form in Europe. According to international law and regulations, when war or major riots occur, people from one country are forced to move to another country for security reasons and the host country, being aware of the matter, sets up camps for their temporary residence, they are called refugees. Refugees can also take refuge in countries weaker than their own countries to save their lives, and refugee problems also arise due to natural disasters. Currently, there are about 43 million refugees in the whole world.
India is home to a large number of refugees. Refugees face insecurity, tension, identity crisis and most importantly, the pressure to be recognized as citizens by the state. Once a person is recognized as a refugee by the host state, they have certain legal rights. The refugee problem is considered from a humanitarian perspective and since it remains an international responsibility, it is the duty of the state to provide minimum protection and assistance for survival. The financial capacity, political obligations, and social structure of the host state - everything depends on how the host country deals with the refugees. Refugees can create cultural conflicts, political unrest among the local population. Sometimes refugees are likely to be involved in terrorist activities. If one or more safe zones are created within the country and protection or assistance can be provided to the oppressed population there, then this influx of refugees can be reduced to some extent. At present, efforts are being made to get to the source of the problem through preventive protection so that refugee-creating situations do not arise.
