The number of refugees, displaced people and others of concern to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) jumped from under 15 million in 1990 to over 22 million in 2000: a 50 per cent increase over the decade. Refugees are a symptom of a deeper malaise in the polities from which they have fled. The failure to establish satisfactory coping mechanisms is a symptom of a deeper malaise afflicting the world. The treatment meted out to refugees by the host countries – including the entire infrastructure of laws, regulations, administrative practices and personnel – separates a civilized from an uncivilized society.
