Document Summary
Refugee camps carry the connotation of threat/security. Refugee camps contain an abstract category of people. Someone who doesn"t belong where he/she has emigrated in national law. If you are out of order, then you are a threat (refugees have become a threat) Safest thing to do with this logics is to put them in a camp. By processing them, then determining if they can have refugee status. Refugee - isn"t bureaucratically classified, burden of the international treaties that they have signed. No country attached to this person (outside of order) Given how we think about the refugee and the abstract category of things they are put into camps to maintain security. If someone is forced to leave (international) is now a threat to the national they must be put into a camp. Camps weren"t originally thought of in terms of refugees. Boer war & the idea of the camp.
