Fleeing Home - The Global Refugee Crisis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Established in 1951, the Refugee Convention defines refugees as people, who are prosecuted on the grounds of their race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or their political opinion in their home countries and are forced to seek asylum abroad. Though the convention was expanded in 1967 to include people fleeing war or violence, today many people who are forced to seek refuge either abroad and within the borders of their homeland because of economic conditions or global environmental changes do not qualify as refugees. Learn more about the issues faced by the refugees, laws that determine their status and historic and contemporary crises in this book.
