Refugees in the World

This book is based on several academic researches that have been conducted in various countries with refugees. The aim of this paper is to describe the living conditions of refugees around the world. For example, it answers questions such as: What is a refugee? Why are there refugees in the world? Who is to blame for the existence of refugees? What are the living conditions of refugees? What are the main challenges faced by refugees? What are the solutions offered to refugees? And what is the role of governments, NGOs and the community in the refugee crisis? But, in addition, the question is answered: Is it correct to use the term refugee? Therefore, arguments about the incorrect use of the term "refugee" are presented. In fact, the theory is presented that the term "refugee" should no longer be used to refer to people fleeing their countries of origin in search of international protection for fear of losing their lives, as stated in the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol.
