Connecting the Reading Segment #4 and Refugee

With the reading "Martha Finnemore. 1996. National Interests in International Society. Ithaca: Cornell U.. Ch. 3", our group discussed the need for an organization specifically for refugees. We talked about the the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees and the fact that there is a Refugee Law which is an international law that deals with the rights and protection of refugees. We also discussed the weakness of this international law.  Though North Koreans that has fled their country has been classified as refugees by the United Nations, China still rejects accepting North Koreans as refugees and sends them back, even though they are surly going to be sent to prison or even executed.
