Human rights abuses are a primary cause of refugee departure and a major impediment to their safe and voluntary return home. As a result, protecting human rights in countries of origin is crucial for both preventing and resolving refugee issues and it must also be respected in order to safeguard refugees in asylum-seeking nations.

Some people argue that the international law of human rights is little more than a collection of idealistic ambitions defining an ideal society that bears no resemblance to reality. Those who work with refugees may be especially prone to this viewpoint.

States are responsible for safeguarding their people’s rights, and a refugee is someone who has fled his or her home country and is unable or unwilling to return due to a substantial threat to his or her life or freedom. When governments are unable or unwilling to do so, individuals may be compelled to flee their nation in search of safety abroad. If this happens, another country will have to step in to protect the refugees’ basic rights and this whole process is termed International protection.¹

The 1951 Refugee Convention and its 1967 protocol provide the backbone of the international protection system, which is supplemented by regional treaties and declarations that also cover refugee rights. International refugee law, on the other hand, does not work in a void. It is best understood in the context of international human rights law, which dates back to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948, as well as international humanitarian law (the law of war).²

The work of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) is based on this larger international legal framework. After WWII, the United Nations General Assembly established UNHCR to assure worldwide refugee protection and to cooperate with nations to develop long-term solutions to refugee issues.

True, even the most fundamental human rights are constantly infringed, and international attempts to enforce respect for human rights are frequently ineffective. The right not to be subjected to refoulement, which is enshrined in Article 33 of the 1951 Convention, is the most fundamental right for refugees. However, the 1951 Convention is not the sole international convention that protects people from being deported. Other rights guaranteed under refugee legislation, such as non-discrimination, are also enshrined in international human rights treaties.

What role does UNCHR play?

UNHCR is working with nations to explain, clarify, and build on the existing corpus of international law established by the 1951 Refugee Convention. It has initiated a number of efforts in recent years aimed at bolstering the Convention as well as encouraging the search for durable and secure solutions for the world’s dislocated peoples.³

The most important global refugee conference in half a century, held in 2001, adopted a historic declaration confirming member governments’ adherence to the 1951 Refugee Convention. UNHCR developed the “Agenda for Protection” through a series of global consultations, which continues to serve as a guide for governments and humanitarian organizations in their efforts to increase global refugee protection.

Defend yourself against being compelled to return

Human rights breaches are a threat to refugees in their home countries. The work of the UNHCR to guarantee that they are not subjected to refoulement is a direct and effective method of ensuring that their basic human rights are protected. Refugees who were forcefully returned to their countries in the recent decade have been killed, tortured, unjustly incarcerated, or forced to live in terrible insecurity. Preventing refoulement is effective, and in some cases, the only, way to avoid additional human rights violations.

Refugee status determination

Those who escape their own nations in quest of safety abroad do so because their human rights are being violated at home. When a person is judged to have a “well-founded fear of persecution,” it means that one or more of his or her essential human rights are being violated. In most circumstances, determining that a group of persons fleeing violence or major public disorder are prima facie refugees’ entails admitting that they are victims of human rights or humanitarian law abuses.

Promoting long-lasting solutions

If the situation in the country of origin has fundamentally altered, supporting and monitoring the safety of refugees’ voluntary returns allows them to re-establish themselves in their own community and exercise their basic human rights. Furthermore, monitoring returnees’ safety is a way of ensuring that they do not face the same human rights violations that drove them to escape. In a small number of circumstances, aiding refugees to be integrated locally or relocated in another country is a way of ensuring that refugees who are unable to return to their home countries can find a new home where they can establish a legal status and exercise essential human rights.

Staff from UNHCR carry out actions like this on a daily basis in nations all over the world, making UNHCR is the biggest active UN human rights organization. Despite the fact that the 1951 Convention and/or the 1967 Protocol have been signed by over 125 countries, several countries currently host substantial numbers of refugees and have not ratified either treaty. It is difficult to establish a legal foundation for the protection of refugees in a nation that is not a signatory to the refugee law treaties. However, since they have achieved the status of customary international law, a few international human rights principles are generally applicable. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and many academics believe that the norm of non-refoulement is a component of customary international law. Furthermore, several jurisdictions that are not signatories to refugee law treaties are signatories to human rights treaties with provisions that assist refugees.

About the PRS Legislative Research

PRS Legislative Research, commonly referred to as PRS, is an Indian non-profit organization that was established in September 2005 as an independent research institute to make the Indian legislative process better informed, more transparent, and participatory. PRS is based in New Delhi.

About the Work

Each Member of Parliament (MP) in India represents over two million constituents. The Indian Parliament passes an average of 60 Bills every year. MPs make laws and address complex policy issues across a wide range of sectors. Given the diversity of issues and the technical nature of many of them, it is not possible for MPs to be well versed on all such issues.

It is in this context that PRS provides MPs analysis on legislation and policy to help them prepare for parliamentary debates.

PRS was co-founded by C.V. Madhukar and M.R. Madhavan in 2005. M.R. Madhavan is currently the President of PRS. The Board of Directors is headed by Mr. S. Ramadorai. The initiative was incubated in the Centre for Policy Research (CPR), New Delhi, which is a leading Indian think tank. Since 2013, the initiative has been institutionalized as the Institute for Policy Research Studies, a not-for-profit Section 8 Company.

The work of PRS is entirely funded through philanthropic donations and grants by a number of Indian institutions and individuals.

About the Internship

PRS offers rolling internships throughout the year.

The PRS staff consists of a team of dedicated professionals with different areas of expertise and is broadly divided into the research and outreach departments.

While the research team analyses legislative and policy issues of topical interest, the outreach team tracks the working of the legislatures and legislators, manages citizen engagement, and is PRS’s interface with the MPs and MLAs.

A prospective intern can apply for an internship in either/both departments.

Structure of the Internship

The internship varies from session to non-session time.

• During a Parliament session, PRS’s work is guided by the issues taken up in Parliament, and interns are expected to work with the analysts on any and all projects.
• During non-session periods, the interests of the individual intern are taken into consideration, and he/she is matched with an analyst(s) doing related work.

The successful completion of a PRS internship requires the intern to pursue and complete an internship project. The intern will be assisting analysts in their research, as well as undertaking an internship project.

Duration of the Internship

The duration of the internship is flexible but is normally between four and eight weeks. Interns can work from their homes.

Expectations from Interns

In addition to a deep interest in the working of Parliament and the legislative process in India, an intern should have:

• Strong writing skills
• Strong analytical skills

Stipend

Please note that no accommodation or remuneration is provided. This is strictly an unpaid internship.
