About the Project

International Refugee Law is a growing wing of International Law and has gained significant attention in the recent decade due to the huge trans-boundary migration of people for various reasons such as; armed conflict, climate change; economic needs etc. Researchers predict that one of the main cause of the conflict among nations in upcoming years will take place due to the migration of a huge number of refugees.
