Overview
UPSC frequently covers global demographic trends, humanitarian crises, international law related to refugees, and the socio-economic and political challenges posed by large-scale migration for both host and origin countries.
International migration governance refers to the frameworks, policies, and institutions that manage the movement of people across borders, including issues of asylum, refugee status, and deportation. Refugee protection is a core component, guided by international law such as the 1951 Refugee Convention, which outlines the rights of refugees and the responsibilities of states.
