Bangladesh Journal of Refugee Law and Displacement Studies (BJRLDS)
A double-blind peer-reviewed academic platform dedicated to advancing research, legal scholarship, and policy discourse on refugee law, statelessness, forced displacement, and humanitarian protection.
Advancing Refugee Law Scholarship
BCRLS invites original and unpublished scholarly manuscripts for publication in the inaugural issue of the Bangladesh Journal of Refugee Law and Displacement Studies, a double-blind peer-reviewed academic platform dedicated to advancing research, legal scholarship, and policy discourse on refugee law, statelessness, forced displacement, and humanitarian protection.
As forced displacement continues to present unprecedented challenges to international and domestic legal systems, refugee law continues to confront complex legal, institutional, and policy challenges. BCRLS seeks to promote high-quality scholarship that critically examines existing legal frameworks and contributes to the development of more effective, rights-based, and future-oriented refugee protection mechanisms.
We particularly welcome submissions that engage with gaps, inconsistencies, and implementation challenges in international and domestic refugee law, while proposing practical legal reforms, institutional innovations, and policy solutions grounded in sound legal research.
