Refugees can be easily portrayed as the best illustration of violation of human rights in the educated and vigilant twentyfirst century. Their numbers act as indicators of their plight and flight and indirectly question the existence and viability of the international norms and principles that speak in their favour .Mere presence of rights in various human rights instruments do not solve the issues faced by them. What is imperative and necessary is a strong enforcement and monitoring mechanism to ensure that their rights are upheld and enforced in society. The book also highlights the rights of refugees and the varied nature and dimensions of their violations with the aid of country experiences manoeuvring across continents, and suggests practical solutions to check, if not eliminate, their crisis. Such human rights have been legally recognized by the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol supported by various regional instruments. The contents of the book would mostly cater to the needs of international and national Government authorities operating in the field of refugees, legislators, academicians, non-government organizations promoting the rights of refugees, human rights organizations, National and State Human Rights Commissions, researchers and students.
