HUMAN RIGHTS OF EXPATRIATE (STATELESS PERSONS) IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD IN INDIAN SCENARIO

Abstract

A person and a state are legally bound by their nationality, which has an impact on how well they may live and how safe they feel. Being stateless is a risky situation since it prevents one from getting access to basics like economic stability, permanent housing, and education. According to Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, everyone has the right to own a nationality, and nobody may have their nationality taken away from them without cause. The state is given power and protection, as well as rights and duties, based on a person's nationality. All of a person's legal rights are accessible to them, allowing them to fully exercise all of their fundamental human rights. Those who were born in India or who had resided there for at least five years prior to the Constitution's inception are considered to be citizens of India. Citizenship laws allow non-citizens, even lawful immigrants, to register. The majority of non-illegal immigrants are eligible to apply for naturalization under Section 6, however because the term "Illegal Migrant" is not defined, stateless people are also eligible to petition for citizenship. In this paper, the researcher will investigate that in contemporary society and in the context of India in the current terrorist scenario, international legislation honoring the human rights of stateless persons is not being implemented.
