Understanding the Politics of Refugee and A Way Forward

Hemaadri SR

1951 Convention has widely been adopted as the standard framework to deal with refugee issue, whether through being a signatory of convention or replicating the principles while deliberating over a national or regional refugee law. The paper would attempt to reveal the political basis of the refugee law and analyze the portrayal of the figure of refugee. Moving beyond the debate of having or not having a refugee law, it would accentuate the need to develop a multicultural space that could make integration, and not merely incorporation, for refugees permissible.
