Abstract:
This research covers Pakistan's complicated refugee dilemma and the catastrophic consequences of no refugee legislation. The research explores legal and policy gaps, historical backdrop, demography, protection difficulties, and socio-economic consequences of refugees in Pakistan using qualitative literature, policy papers, and organization reports. Deportation, legal ambiguity, and restricted access to essential services plague refugees without a legal framework. This research proposes for a national refugee legislation that meets international criteria and protects refugees. The research emphasizes international collaboration, responsibility sharing, and evidence-based planning for this complex humanitarian and policy issue. The recommendations attempt to improve Pakistani refugee management and build a more equitable and sustainable system.
