Vitit Muntarbhorn, in The Status of Refugees in Asia, discusses the importation or superimposition of territorial sovereignty onto pre-existing polities in the region arguing that ‘the characteristics of permanent population, and defined territory as a basis for laws on immigration and nationality were traditionally alien to the Asian region’ (Muntarbhorn, 1992:5).
Edwards suggests that the act of applying Western notions of ‘refugees’ upon the Pukhtun has the potential to be a greater destabilising agent on their cultural and social identities than the cross-border movements by those opposed to a political regime, who felt compromised or in danger from the state or other military factions.
The 1951 Convention definition and its application has been recognised as requiring a sense of ‘humanitarianism’ and ‘pragmatism’ that is absent at the time of drafting.
