Abstract The South Asian states represents the hospitality paradox in the context of management and protection of rights of the refugees because on one hand the region hosting a large number of refugees but on the other hand the region is neither signatory to the United Nations Convention and Protocol Relating to the Status of Refugees, which is a principle legal framework protecting rights of refugees and managing refugees worldwide nor have any refugee specific legislation to protect rights of the refugees. The region represents the visible tension between the unique cultural traditions of hospitality towards displaced people within and outside the region yet, the hospitality co-exist with restrictions, securitization and discriminatory treatments in the absence of global, regional or domestic legal guarantee of rights for the refugees.
