Abstract
ABSTRACT Dispossession appears to be the irreducible “indivisible remainder” in a refugee's everyday life. The deprivation that causes them to undertake forced migration is the tangible outcome of their material dispossession of rights as a citizen of the state. The biased global protection framework for refugees inadvertently perpetuates their predicament by providing them protection, but simultaneously dispossesses them of their dignity. This article introspects substantively the material dispossession of rights of refugees and addresses the dispossession of dignity in a normative and metaphysical sense.
