Focusing on The Global Refugee Crisis

After deciding to focus more particularly on refugee populations as not to spread myself to thin in research and blogging, even though global Genocides are a large contributing factor to the refugee problems worldwide, i am focusing on the breakdown of the refugee crisis.

• What determines refugee status? 
• what are the areas in the world with the largest numbers of refugees? 
• What are the distinctions drawn between migrants, internally displaced persons, refugees, and those granted asylum- asylum seekers?
  

In diving into the definition of a Refugees the grey area in determing and declaring refugee status is rather difficult. Although a refugee is someone who is afraid to go home for fear of persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, social group or political opinion, and is often outside the country of their nationality, unable to or, owing to such fear, unwilling to avail him/herself of the protection of that country.
