No: 1 (The Multi documents held by Tibetan refugees in India. This shows the importance of political identity construction through paperwork and what this thesis will be exploring is the difficulties of documentation and legal status of Tibetan refugees in India. Tibetan Green Book, Registration Certificates, Identity Certificate and Chinese travel documents. Photographed by Gedun Gyatso, 2015) 2 ABSTRACT According to the Tibetan Demographic Survey of 2009, there are more than ten thousand “Tibetan Refugees” residing in India today and these refugees have unique characteristics compare to other refugees in the world. They are both stateless and document-less, which I call “Double less-ness”. Tibetan refugees in India do not hold any legal status. However, they are labeled according to different criteria: “Tibetan Citizens” in the eyes of Central Tibetan Administration in India (an unrecognized political community), “Refugees” in the eyes of many western countries, “Foreign Guests” in the eyes of Indian state, and “Overseas Chinese” in the eyes of Chinese government. In this context refugees are referred as political refugees, the foreign guest should understand as foreign residents according to Indian state and the overseas Chinese are referred as Chinese Citizens from the time when Tibetan refugees have family registration records in China (McConnell: 2011: 968). Based on ethnographic research on Tibetan refugees in India, this thesis discusses the legal status, difficulties of documentation, its processes, expectations of Tibetan migrants and different concepts regarding state, citizen, migration, status, mobility and documentation among three different generations of Tibetans in the exile communities. During the research, data was collected by the methods of (1) informal conversations with Tibetan refugees of different generations, backgrounds and life styles, (2) observations with Tibetan refugees planning to migrate from India to the west or return back to Tibet, (3) structured interviews with Tibetans come from Tibet and born in India,(4) formal interviews with Indian and Tibetan officials regarding legal status and rights of Tibetan refugees in India. The results show that Tibetan refugees in India do not hold any legal statuses except for being labeled as “foreign Resident” and there is no uniform or standardized policy towards Tibetan refugees from the government of India. There are thousands of Tibetan refugees residing in India, as foreigners by holding false documents, making them feel insecure and excluded from Indian societies. This unfitting or outcast feeling from Indian societies becomes the push factors for Tibetan refugees to migrate from the exile communities in India to another place again for a better life. This chain of outflowing Tibetans from India generates a new migration approach: migration is not always the case of high valued wages, regional development and natural disasters. It is a result of difficulties of documentation in the exile communities where people migrate in order to get proper credentials and legal status. The processes of documentation of stateless people create a new concept that is of a “citizen” and it challenges the theory of national citizen, of which we generally understand as citizens within a bounded territory that legitimated to only one sovereign state. However, in contrast, Tibetan refugees are holding different documents and carrying multiple labels out of fear and insecurity within the host state. More surprisingly, it is argued that citizenship and commitment to a state is not about geographic territory, but it is about the security and safety of people. Key words: LegaL status, difficuLties of documentation, citizen, refugee, state, migration and mobility 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First of all, I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Tina Harris.

Introduction “Tibetans are issued Foreign Registration Certificates not Refugee Certificates in India. ” Tibetan Parliament Speaker Penpa Tsering: (17/03/2015) There are nearly one hundred thousand Tibetan refugees living in forty five formal settlements, in ten different states including Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Delhi, Sikim, Ladakh and many others living outside of these settlements in India (TDS: 2009). All these Tibetan refugees entered into India during three major waves of Tibetan migration1. Tibetans in India do not hold any legal status. “They are living in a state of legal limbo and do not qualify as refugees in any legal sense” (TJC: 2011: P 12, Moynihan: 2012: P 4). They are facing immense difficulties in India regarding legal status and documentation, majority of them are either undocumented or illegally over staying on false documents with multiple identities. The difficulties of documentation and legal status introduce the main aspects of the Tibetan refugees in India, which will be the focus of this thesis. This thesis is based on three months of qualitative fieldwork in Tibetan exile community in Dharamshala HP2 and Delhi, during which twenty-two members of Tibetan refugees were interviewed. In this thesis, I will show how difficulties of documentation and lack of legal status are related to Indian foreign policies towards Tibetan refugees, the processes of illegal documentation activities, Tibetans’ notions of regarding state and

STATEMENT OF DECISION AND REASONS APPLICATION FOR REVIEW This is an application for review of a decision made by a delegate of the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship to refuse to grant the applicant a Protection (Class AZ) visa under s.65 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act). The applicant, who claims to be a citizen of China (PRC), arrived in Australia and applied to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship for a Protection (Class AZ) visa. The delegate decided to refuse to grant the visa and notified the applicant of the decision and his review rights, in accordance with s.66 of the Act. The delegate refused the visa application on the basis that the applicant is not a person to whom Australia has protection obligations under the Refugees Convention. The applicant applied to the Tribunal for review of the delegate’s decision. The Tribunal finds that the delegate’s decision is an RRT-reviewable decision under s.411(1)(c) of the Act. The Tribunal finds that the applicant has made a valid application for review under s.412 of the Act. RELEVANT LAW Under s.65(1) a visa may be granted only if the decision maker is satisfied that the prescribed criteria for the visa have been satisfied.

  • Kälin and Kochenov's
    Kälin and Kochenov’s An Objective Ranking of the Nationalities of the World Kälin and Kochenov’s Quality of Nationality Index (QNI) is designed to rank the objective value of world nationalities, as legal statuses of attachment to states, approached from the perspec- tive of empowering mobile individuals interested in taking control of their lives. The QNI looks beyond simple visa-free tourist or business travel and takes a number of other crucial factors into account: those that make one nationality a better legal status through which to develop your talents and business than another. This edition provides the state of the quality of nationalities in the world as of the fall of 2018. Edited by Dimitry Kochenov and Justin Lindeboom Part 1 Laying Down the Base By Dimitry Kochenov and Justin Lindeboom 10 • Quality of Nationality Index 1 The QNI’s Task: Demystifying Citizenship through Clear Data The demystifi cation and deromanticization of citizenships and nationalities is long overdue (Kochenov and Lindeboom 2017; Kochenov 2019a). Although much ink is spilled in the literature about concrete citizenships’ ‘values’, ‘identities’, and ‘honor’ when speaking about citizenship, two fundamental starting points — which underpin the QNI — should always be kept in mind. Firstly, as a historically sexist and racist ‘status of being’ randomly assigned by an authority, any citizenship is inevitably arbitrary, messy, and complex. Crucially, it never depends on an individu- al’s wishes: the authority will decide who is a citizen no matter what his or her ‘identity’ or ‘values’ may be (Kochenov 2019b). Those who think that a parent’s ‘blood’ or the fact of birth in a particular territory is suffi cient justifi cation for the distribution of the crucial rights and entitlements that shape our lives can probably stop reading here: this book is not a neo-feudal nationalist restate- ment of citizenship’s glory — it is anti-feudal.

Por ello, la estabilidad social, económica y política de la región fue reconfigurándose a lo largo del año. Dada la proximidad con los actores antes mencionados, la política interna y externa de Taiwán reparó en cuantiosos cambios. La guerra comercial entre China y los Estados Unidos fue uno de los eventos más significativos que marcó, afectó y en múltiples casos reorientó la política no sólo de los países asiáticos sino de todo el mundo. En el caso de Taiwán, la guerra comercial creó áreas de oportunidad económica y política para la isla. En algunos sectores industriales, Taipéi se benefició de las sanciones económicas impuestas por los Estados Unidos a las importaciones chinas y, en la esfera política, el gobierno taiwanés aprovechó la coyuntura para fortalecer y estrechar su relación con los Estados Unidos. Por otro lado, la crisis social derivada de las manifestaciones que han sacudido la región de Hong Kong desde el inicio de segunda mitad del año generó inestabilidad política D.R. © 2020.
