Cases in South and Southeast Asia, such as Uyghurs in Thailand, Afghans in Pakistan, and the Rohingya in Bangladesh, illustrate the mounting tensions surrounding these vulnerable displaced populations. Despite some states not being signatories to the main international legal instruments protecting refugees, these countries still have obligations to the refugee populations within their borders.

This factsheet details states\u2019 legal obligations to protect refugees and provides examples of the conditions and treatment of such refugees across South and Southeast Asia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>      <a target=\"_blank\" class=\"btn-primary single-cta-btn\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/2025-10\/2025%20Factsheet%20Refugee%20Crisis%20SSA.pdf\">View PDF<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div id=\"block-taxonomytermview\" class=\"block block-custom-blocks block-taxonomy-term-view\">\n<div class=\"content\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uscirf.gov\/responsibility-host-countries-protect-refugees-fleeing-religious-persecution-examples-south-and?rand=6542\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Responsibility of Host Countries to Protect Refugees Fleeing Religious Persecution \u2014 Examples from South and Southeast Asia As the refugee population increases, including those fleeing religious persecution, more than two-thirds remain in neighboring countries.
