A Brief Study of the Social Positioning of Refugees in the International Accords Related to Human Rights

In the era of Globalization, humans are migrating from their territory for the sake of education or livelihood for their benefit, the host nations welcome them wholeheartedly. These migrations often have positive implications for the host nation’s economy. But not all migrations are primarily for livelihood but for protecting their life. A person withholds his ‘right to life’ irrespective of his citizenship can never be withdrawn without the due process of law. In history, it is observed that humans have fled from their country due to violations or danger to their human rights where their subsistence was at peril. With time, migrations have been recognized as a danger to the host state which had disagreements due to the increase in population, security of the state, and providing livelihoods to the migrants as a concern. In due course, nations started adapting their reservations towards the acceptability of these migrants in their territory. After the establishment of the United Nations in 1945, the issue underwent several discourses to agree on a uniform practice for the nations worldwide to avoid any disparity violating the human rights of the migrants. The author has focused on the different conventions and protocols available to these migrants to seek protection of their life.
