Question

Who are refugees?

Hint:

Phrase to recall: “well-founded fear of persecution” under the 1951 Convention.

Answer 1

This definition comes from the 1951 Refugee Convention/1967 Protocol. Refugees require international protection distinct from migrants. India is not a signatory but follows humanitarian practices and works with UNHCR on case-by-case protection, registration and assistance for groups such as Tibetans, Sri Lankan Tamils and others (≈57 words).
