Politics has been a major problem in trying to eradicate this plight with no one willing to lessen their political grip which leaves millions in plight of survival, rejection and death.

Refugees are individuals who flee from conflict or unhealthy living conditions likewise to displaced person but an asylum seeker is basically a refugee seeking refugee status where he flees from fear of death or persecution upon return to ones domicile. It is therefore, why this research articles looks to delve into these three facets surrounding refugees and in doing so highlight the differences in them as well as look into the different ways humanitarian laws are able to tackle this problem as well as offer possible solutions towards the current refugee influx which is being experienced worldwide.
