Many countries in the world today face the problem of refugees. It does not matter what the cause of fleeing from one country and seeking shelter or asylum in another is. The fact remains that many countries are forced to admit (Sometimes they try to discourage by force of arms) people whom their own people do not like and consequently generate racial and communal conflicts. In this context, human rights takes on an added dimensions. Sometimes atrocities are heaped on them o force them to go back to wherever they came from. International anger and anguish is expressed, but beyond that nothing else happens. Sometimes, some countries, either independently or under UN auspices enter the fray, diplomatically and through military intervention. This book details the various aspects of refugees and the problems they face in terms of human rights.
