United Nations expert urged the Government of India to abide by the international norm of non-refoulement and protect the rights of asylum seekers and refugees including Rohingyas.
About:
The UN defines refoulement as “the expulsion of persons who have the right to be recognised as refugees”.
The principle of non-refoulement is set out under the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol (India is not a signatory).
The principle is that refugees should not be returned or expelled pending final determination of their status.
