comillas.edu
Summary:
A naïve mother with a child is dispossessed of her home and ferried away;
a man is disowned by his government after toiling in his country for four
generations because of his ethnicity; a little girl can no longer pursue
her education because her school was bombed; and a young boy behind
fences might never see his friends again because he is unsure if they survived the war. These are the ‘population of concern’: refugees and stateless
people demanding the immediate attention of international communities
and hoping for swift action towards reconciliation. “Refugees in South
Asia: Issues and Concerns,” presents the history, origin, and plight of the
refugees and stateless people in South Asia, living in camps or dispersed
throughout host countries and in their own countries, living in gripping
fear and disillusionment. The focus population of concern in this journal
include Afghans, Sri Lankan Tamils, Rohingyas, Chin, Hajong, Chakma,
Tibetans, and counting. The interventions made by Governments through
their policies, UN agencies, international NGOs (INGOs) and other civil
society organizations presented in this journal offer affirmative propositions for those who wish to collaborate. Furthermore, suggestions on a
positive course of action towards the rehabilitation of refugees and stateless people and proactive participation from host countries are integrated
with the best of intentions.
