This book goes beyond the confines of traditional refugee law. Countries of South Asia have not signed the 1951 Convention nor do they have national legislation on refugees. In this context, Refugees and the Law is an attempt to bring out the intricacies of refugee protection in India. The building blocks for refugee law and the need for a national legislation are elaborated and emphasized. Many unreported and reported judgments have been reproduced wherein courts have widened the scope of the existing laws to give justice and concession to refugees. While the book mainly focuses on the foundations and frameworks of international refugee law, it analyses in some detail the domestic legal framework available to bring this special group within its ambit. Special emphasis is placed on issues relating to extremely vulnerable groups like children and women. The attention of the legal community is also drawn towards the compelling need for a national legislation on refugees. Setting standards for granting asylum and protection requirements would go a long way in bridging the gap between administrative attitudes and ad hoc policy decisions. The aim is to facilitate the efforts of those engaged in advocacy for the rights of refugees and issues relating to their protection.
