Rights of Refugees
Abstract:
India continues in receiving refugees in spite of its overpopulation where millions of people are below poverty line and are debarred from basic amenities. However there are few rights given to them but there is no uniform legal framework to protect refugee.1951 Convention Relating to The Status of Refugee followed by 1967 protocol on Refugees, UNHRC, Cartagena Declaration on Refugees are the main authority on the refugee law.

However, while refugees and IDPs may flee for similar reasons (for example, armed conflict or persecution), their legal status is very different. Unlike refugees, IDPs remain within the borders of their home countries and are legally under the protection of their own government, even in cases where the government’s actions are the cause of their flight. A person cannot be recognised as a refugee unless they are outside their home country.

The Universal Refugee Some people believe that Universal Refugees are different people that deal with different hassles. However, that is not true. The Universal Refugees understand each other and deal with the same struggles such as immigration, hardship and assimilation. When entering a new country, refugees most likely will deal with hardship from just entering the country to actually living in it.
English Draft: The arrival of asylum seekers’ to Australia from other countries is a controversial issue dividing public opinion. Cartoonist, Pat Campbell, in the cartoon “Global Warming/Refugees Cartoon” from The National Times, shows his point of view on refugees as being a strong issue that can happen anywhere, even in the artic with animals. His point of view shows is that most people in Australia are treating refugees like animals treat each other and it is wrong. The author sees the treatment of the refugees as wrong and that they are being treated wrong and without respect. He also shows his point of view on global warming and how it is a growing issue.
The Last Asylum, as Barbara Taylor notes in the prologue of the book, is a book that is not meant to be your average misery memoir (Taylor XV). Instead, she makes the claim where the book is more of a a combination of both a history and personal story, and with the “yes and no” answer immediately insinuating it is not your typical sad story. But as her account continues, I notices there were other goals Taylor attempts to achieve. Some of these goals include the following: to show how she changes over her experience in the asylum, to provide a brief history of the asylum system in the United Kingdom and her impressions of it, and also to express her personal state of mind throughout the novel, which include her relationship with the psychoanalyst
The condition of the cities during the 20th century, were terrible. Due to the extreme amount of people coming to cities looking for work they were crammed. There was limited housing causing people to live on the street. The streets were filled with waste and nastiness due to people not disposing of garbage and human waste properly. Also, garbage was not picked up off the streets often, nor were the streets cleaned.
Ha is an example of the universal refugee experience because she goes through things that many other refugees go through, such as the feeling of being “inside out” and not belonging anywhere. Ha has to learn a new language and a whole new way of life, she has to give up many of her old traditions and ways of life like many refugees do. A universal refugee experience is something that is experienced by not all, but most refugees. Ha started out stubborn and forceful before they fled their home, "I decided to wake before dawn and tap my big toe on the tile floor first," (Lai 2). Ha is angry that only men 's feet bring good luck and she will not let that be the case for she wants to bring luck to her family.
Introduction Australia is said to be a multicultural and multiracial country. So why can’t we, as a country and as a nation, say yes to immigrants fleeing from a different country? As immigration to Australia is supposably apart of our history and it would be wrong not to continue on with the actions of our ancestors. Paragraph 1 As of 2014 – 2015, Australia accepted 13,750 refugees in total. Paragraph 2 • What are refugees and asylum seekers?
Argumentative Writing Undocumented immigrants are getting deported and they can’t have an experience they wanted to have when they came to america. But, because of the us government they can’t have this experience some get this experience but they still have to be very careful. They all also fear because some of them have kids then they fear for themselves and then there kids because it’s their family. Do you want to live in a community where you see mexican and people on the streets because of crossing the border. This is why i think that the government shouldn’t deport undocumented immigrants because then they don't get a chance to have an american experience.
The improvement of the rights of the Canadian Immigrants Canada, as one of the biggest immigration countries, welcomes people from all over the the world and forms a representative multicultural atmosphere in today’s society. Over these few decays, the country has always been consummating the laws to provide immigrants equal rights and freedoms, and better treatments they could receive. However, Canadian immigration laws were not unprejudiced and it eventually caused a “legal discrimination” before 1976. The legal rights of the immigrant groups have improved significantly because of the demands of developing the country, the influences of the wars, and the globalization of the world. Since 1880s, more immigrants and foreigners came to Canada because of the railway construction project.
Journalist, Ahmed Agdas, in his article, “Why Taking in Refugees Is Still the Right Thing to Do” argues why we should let the refugees in. The author uses rhetorical strategies to make his argument stronger and to communicate to the readers. Ahmed Agdas is a young politician, journalist, and a student. Agdas’s purpose is to convey the idea that we need to let the refugees in so they don’t die on the border. In today’s society the word refugee has become omnipresent.

Among the illegal immigrants currently living in the United States, continuously crossing the borders and remaining in the United Stated with expired visas each year. Unlawful immigration once an issue of border states such as Arizona or Texas is now impacting all states around the country with problems.

Although the Federal Government has all authority over the regulating of migration into the United States, the State and local law enforcement and communities are an essential role in improving on the immigration law, and it is effectively enforced.
“To deny people their human rights, is to challenge their very humanity.” -Nelson Mandela Canada is well known across the world for handling its national challenges well, yet has not been obeying the human rights. The human rights were made so everyone was equal and no one had higher power. According to Canada.ca, Canada is a founding member of the United Nation, (UN) and is a party to seven principal United Nations human rights conventions and covenants.
Majority of forced migrants flee for reasons not recognized by the international refugee regime, and many of them are displaced within their own country. It can also be called as displacement and deracination. Trafficking refers as the recruitment, transportation, transfer,
I chose this topic because I read an article on the Internet stating that the refugee crisis worldwide has displaced 60 million people from their homes since the end of World War II pushing asylum to their limits. That article stated the threat countries are facing as they are fleeing from countries like Syria and Iraq to places like Central America and Africa to seek asylum. I want to research whether countries should be morally obligated to give asylum to refugees. I want to also find out what causes this problem, what effects and consequences this will have on the country. Finally I want to obtain a possible course of action to try to put an end to this problem.
A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are many different types of refugees, these include refugees who are escaping war, social discrimination, racial discrimination, religious persecution, those who are seeking aid after a natural disaster, political unrest, and those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family. These people are given refugee status and are placed in designated refugee camps across the country where they are supposed to be cared for and educated, but this is not happening. Many of the countries only provide shelter for the refugees but do not provide the rest of the basic needs. There are many factors that contribute to a person becoming a refugee these include war, famine, racial prejudice, religion, harassment or torture due to political views, nationality, and natural disaster.
