Civic Education  Other Pages © UNHCR/H.Caux  Refugees are a
painful living reminder of the failure of societies to exist in
peace. People should be able to lead productive and independent
lives in their home communities. Sadly, they are sometimes
forced to flee because of abuse, violations of their rights and
various forms of social breakdown, including war. These issues
are linked to concepts such as justice, equality, tolerance,
freedom, minority rights and the formation of community.
Refugees can be the subject of work units on human rights,
nationalism, racism, immigration, persecution and war.  9-11
