NO TIME FOR LOVE: INDIA’S STAND ON REFUGEE PROTECTION!
Downloads
Abstract
This essay will is an attempt to understand India’s policy on asylum seekers and treatment of refugees. India presently has no law governing Refugee status, but I will discuss the prevalent legislative and administrative policies used by the central government to handle refugee influx and the constitutional provisions that apply to non-citizens. Then, I will discuss the important role the Indian Judiciary and the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) has played in protecting and nurturing the human rights of refugees. Further I will try to discuss the asylum bill of 2015, which if passed by the parliament would serve as the competent law governing refugee influx in India. India’s obligations towards the International community and under the provisions of customary International Laws and relevant treaty bodies will also be covered.
