Hurricane Katrina and the Displacement of Refugees
Hurricane Katrina drove the Katrina refugees to leave the southern part of the United States. People from the Orleans were among those who had been temporarily relocated to other towns. More than a million people were displaced by Katrina, making it the largest climate-driven migration since the dust bowl of the 1930s.
International Refugee Protection
The cornerstone of international refugee protection is acknowledged in Article 14 of United Nations agreements, which are based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The UN did, however, remove the geographical and time restrictions and article modification. The new amendments defined a refugee as a person who was unable or unwilling to return to their country of birth and who, prior to leaving, might have committed a crime. The convention does not apply everybody after the amendment of article one. The refugees protected by the principles of the United Nations may not be granted the basic minimum treatment of a refugee (Aristide .R. Zolberg, 1983). Such treatment involves having rights to education, access to court, refugee travel document, and also the right to work. Most refugees who have the travel document are accepted as the former Nansen passport which is devised by the commissioner for refugees. Under the convention and protocol article, refugees such as the Katrina do not apply to the refugees displaced from Orland.
The Formation of New States
The starting point of all the problems is when the flow of refugee came to be. Certain conditions must be met in the country of origin or other countries as well. Although the validity of the conditions was objectionable by a few members of the refugee policy community, the assertion was a truism of the international migration. Therefore, people cannot leave their countries for the purpose of going nowhere because there is a restrictive control on every entry of each state. The government policy that recruited potential receivers was available to effect such control measure. By forming the receiving points, the refugees could not qualify to go to a foreign country because of the U.N definitions. The U.N definitions stated that a refugee applied to a foreign domination that is compelled to leave his habitual origin (Goodwin-Gill, 1983). Although the refugee policy led to many uses as an instrument of foreign policy, suggestions for the actual receiver should influence both direction and magnitude of the movements the refugees made. Expressing the wish of the UN Declaration, the international co-operation has recognized the global scope bringing in different acts for the refugees. In cases where the immigrant had more than one nationality, the person deemed lacking protection from either of the countries.
Conclusion
Section A convection acted upon anyone who had lost his/her citizenship and later reacquires it. Provided a person did not have an identity, he can return to his former residence. With such movements, protection and assistance will cease by the relevant solutions adopted by the United Nations. Every refugee in this matter had duties to the country he went. The requirement of the refugee was that he should conform to the laws of that state and regulations for the maintenance of the public order. As a conclusion, the Refugees will continue to be seen in the third world because the political and social transformations are substantially involved in these countries. In the context of the United Nations conventions, foreign interventions have contributed for fostering the refugee problems.
