Refugee crisis shows inhumanity to man

We are witnessing refugee crisis reminiscent of the World Wars I and II when thousands of refugees, mainly in Europe became a phenomenon. The Universal Declaration of the Human Rights recognises the right of persons to seek asylum in other countries.

Subsequently the 1951 Refugee Convention relating to the status of refugees was adopted in 1951 as the centre piece of the International Refugees while 1967 protocol removed geographical limits thereby creating universal application to the refugee challenge.
