The Ukrainian Crisis of Forced Displacement

An Ethnomethodological Analysis of Ethno-National Conflicting Conditions and Global Justice

Abstract

Shelter is the basic necessity of human life. When one is devoid of such condition and is less able to access basic services or opportunities of the ‘core-society’, it can be called as a ‘sub-state living’ of a yet-to be civilised world. This paper argues that the cause may be so many to be considered such as international war, pandemic, natural calamities, civil wars, global economic crunch, pandemic and moreover the negligence of the so-called privileged section of the humanity to force the homeless people to bear with an inhuman tag of the refugee. The recent military invasion of the Russian Federation on Ukraine in February 2022 based on ‘ethno-nationalism’ that is in origin an ethnic conflict related to culture, language and race erupts not only an international inconsistency but also became responsible for the uninvited torment and sufferings of Ukrainian people, majority of whom fled and are living as refugees in different parts of the world and the minority had been internally displaced.  Despite the politico-economic endeavours taken up by the National Human Rights Commission and the world Nations, the Ukrainian refugee remains segregated as an ‘out-group’ and marginalised section of the society accepting ‘culture-shock’ and vulnerable socio-cultural living conditions that needs further socio-economic and political attention and legal amendments to protect their rights as human beings. This study uses marginalisation as a social factor to analyse the less-privileged conditions of Ukrainian refugees of the world and suggests proper amendments in the Refugee Convention 1951 to ensure their adequate treatment and to protect their human rights and thereby establishing global justice.
