India’s refugee crisis
A legal scrutiny
Keywords:
refugee, refugee convention, legislation, humanitarian protection, political migrationAbstract
This article is an attempt to shed light on the magnanimous crisis faced by Refugees in India. It talks about how the statutes and laws have attempted to minimize the effect of the crisis as well as how laws carve the way out for Refugees in India. The primary pillar on which refugees survive against atrocities in India is Article 21 of the Indian Constitution. Despite its overcrowding, India continues to allow refugees through various diplomatic means. However, there may not be a unified criminal framework in place to protect refugees. The 1951 Refugee Convention, which defines the term "refugee," is the principal source on the subject of refugee legislation. The conference's first objective was established in 1951. A person who has to leave behind a normal life and relocate to a completely new place and a new country because of political, demographic, or war-like scenarios becomes a Refugee. (Lentini, 1985)
