The CONVENTION ON THE STATUS OF REFUGEES 1951 defines a 'refugee' (Article 1A(2)) as a person who has a:

1. Article 1A(2) Refugee Convention 1951: 'Any person who: As a result of events occurring before 1 January 1951 and owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country.' 2. The 1967 Protocol removed the temporal and geographical limitations. 3. India is NOT a party to the 1951 Convention or 1967 Protocol but follows non-refoulement in practice for many refugee groups. 4. Hence option B is correct. _Source: International HR Treaties + Indian Constitutional Jurisprudence — Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees 1951, Article 1A(2)_
