1.1 Purpose of the Report

Refugees and their rights. As we saw in Paris on 10 December 1948 the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN General Assembly during
its 183rd plenary meeting Article 14 that “Everyone has the right to seek and to
enjoy in other countries asylum from persecution” and “This right may not be
invoked in the case of prosecutions genuinely arising from non-political crimes or
from acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations”.
In this report we will talk about refugee history, types, rights, and we will talk
about their day and two important refugee agencies. We will discuss all these topics
critically and in impartial way.

asylum to any country they want and enjoy it under certain circumstances.
