Abstract
Refugees are individuals residing outside their home countries who require protection from foreign nations due to a grave danger to their life, physical well-being, or liberty within their home country, stemming from persecution, warfare, violence, or significant public unrest. This document outlines the functioning of the Indian legal framework in assisting refugees, along with the international legal standards and organizations that offer support to them. It further explores the alignment between the Indian and international legal systems for refugees, as well as global developments concerning refugees.
