REFUGEES AND RIGHTS: TRACING STRATEGIC PATH TOWARDS SAARC-CENTRIC LEGISLATIONS
Downloads
Abstract
Humanity finds itself at hardship of phenomenal magnitude since its origin. War and struggle have held humankind from continent to continent, from region to region and from nation to nation. Mistreatment of peoples based on their caste, creed, ethnicity, gender, race, religion, region, social origin and political opinion remains unabated and keeps on being made exacerbated. It is unfortunate yet veritable maxim that the modern world is an exasperate world. This modern world is also witnessing the new horizons of human migration that is accelerated by a large number of socio-economic, civil and political human rights quests.
The South Asian region particularly SAARC consists of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan and Maldives. Afghanistan joined the organization in 2007. Countries in South Asia, at the worldwide level, are the countries of emigration. Powers of emigration may be ascribed primarily to the moderately weak economies of the region as well as in the social injustices existing in numerous countries in the region.
Immigration here is more of an intra-regional phenomenon linked to historical developments as well as the cultural and linguistic affiliations within the region. While there is no legitimate idea of asylum, in practice, the grant of refugee status to various from within the region, has been a conventional sign of countries in the region.
However, the entire south Asian regions, notably the SAARC, is devoid of guidelines and standards on any dimension of refugee reception, determination and protection. As a result of historical mishaps, political numbness, unstable democracies and overstated concern over national security, there is no real inspiration for, or any environment in which there is a possibility for, the sanctioning of any national legislation.
