ABSTRACT
Consider this, you are living in a country since your birth, you have seen your older family members buried/cremated there, but there comes one fine day when the country is inhabitable for you and your family members and the only way to survive is to get out of that country and relocate. Now you decide to enter another country, you are now a refugee in the country. There are many reasons why a person would leave their home countries but the base of them all is same “safety”. Safety is the key reason why people flee from their home countries. There may be a conflict of race, religion, etc., or war/war like situation. But does the safety of individuals is all that matters? What about the national safety of the country that gets the influx of these refugees. What about the burden on the resources of the country? Does being a sovereign country mean that the country can ignore its human rights obligations? There is no straight answer to these questions, there is only compromise and adjustment.
