Refugees, generally speaking, are displaced person who has been forced to cross national boundaries and who cannot return home safely.

Refugee populations consist of people who are terrified and are away from familiar surroundings.

Instances of Human rights violations, child labor, mental and physical trauma/torture, violence-related trauma, and sexual exploitation, especially of children, are not entirely unknown.

Refugees have been used and recruited as Refugee militants or terrorists and the humanitarian aid directed at Refugee relief has very rarely been utilized to fund the acquisition of arms.
