| Summary: | The 21st Century is shockingly witnessing the growing trends of stateless, vulnerable and persecuted
people around the world. Albeit the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (1951 Convention) and its
1967 Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees (1967 Protocol) offer numerous legal basis for the protections of
refugees, these are still seemed inadequate to address the global plights of refugees. One of the problems
associated with refugees is unemployment while seeking refuge in the host State. Surviving in a foreign country
without a proper mean to earn a living often compels them to indulge in illegal activities which may inevitably affect
the national security of the host nation. Hence, it is essential to guarantee employment rights to the refugees for their
survivals. It is observed that most of the States nowadays are reluctant and not very much forthcoming in welcoming
refugees let alone employing them. In fact, there are many benefits that a host State can gain from allowing refugees
to work while they are living it its territory, namely, promoting the living standard of refugees in its jurisdiction,
integrating them well in to the host society, and boosting the national economy, among others. |
