We applaud the commitment to upholding the rule of law and to continue work in shaping the future of refugee protection, she stated, including, we' should promote for the rights of refugees, both within our borders and around the world. We should guarantee that access to asylum and access to justice is not a luxury however an essential right, no matter one's nationality or migration status. She even more said that by doing so, 'we reinforce the foundations of a just and inclusive society where the dignity of every human being is respected and safeguarded'. Verma said the Judiciary's function was critical in protecting refugees' rights as refugees were among the most susceptible members of our global community who dealt with unthinkable challenges and uncertainties, typically browsing complicated legal systems in their mission for refuge.Verma stated the book chronicled the landmark decisions, providing invaluable assistance not only to attorneys however likewise to the administration, policymakers, scholars, attorneys, and numerous others who looked for to advance the reason for refugee defense, she added.A version of this post appears in the print on June 22, 2023, of The Himalayan Times.
