Abstract

UNHCR (2003) 'Guidelines on International Protection: Cessation of Refugee Status under Article 1C(5) and (6) of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees (the "Ceased Circumstances" Clauses)' www.refworld.org/docid/3e50de6b4.html 2. 41 FMR 62 Return October 2019 www.fmreview.org/return A premature attempt at cessation Hamsa Vijayaraghavan and Pallavi Saxena There are many lessons to be learned from UNHCR's controversial - and ultimately reversed - decision to end refugee status for Burmese Chins in India and Malaysia.
