Description
The proposed study is going to include the Afghan refugee question into a wider debate. Even after discussing each and every framework of a refugee crisis such as cultural and economic aspects, political borders and boundaries, national and international institutions, human rights factor and putting a gender lens, the crisis is unlikely to be solved in near future. The study is going to discuss what is missing in the current refugee debate and how other aspects of refugee studies can be included in international relations.
Thousands of Afghans risk their lives daily by crossing borders in search of a better life. During 2015, millions of these people arrived in Europe. This study provides a critical overview of recent afghan migration flows and offers answers as to why people flee, what happens during their flight and investigates the various responses to mass migratory movements. The proposed study discusses on the reasons why migration should be examined critically.
The afghan mobilization has been deteriorated by the failure of the international human rights instruments and migration frameworks. The securitization of migrations in the European Union (EU) with the current migratory crisis, through the adoption of exceptional measures that go beyond the sphere of normal politics and the adoption of what might be considered some legally questionable measures for the Afghans.
Nevertheless, the adoption of these measures so far has not helped to solve the humanitarian crisis, rather proved the inability of the EU as an effective mechanism. These paper discuses how the securitization approach of the EU failed to adopt a coherent and comprehensive strategy regarding migration management.
Since 2011, the Afghans constitute one of the most important refugee populations since the Soviet invention. The development of restrictive migration policies in the neighboring countries and a bleak future for the Afghanistan led the Afghans travel to a far-land. What becomes apparent through case studies such as these is that despite the brevity of human rights legislation – recognized across most of the developed world – states are now implementing pre-emptive measures that effectively neutralize their obligations.
This study explains how the present international mechanism may undermine international protection for asylum claimants and refugees, and potentially contradict the object and purpose of the Refugee Convention.
