AI-generated Abstract

The paper examines the concept of global apartheid, focusing on its implications for refugees and the systemic racism that shapes their experiences in the context of a new world order. It argues that contemporary geopolitical dynamics perpetuate inequalities that echo historical patterns of oppression, leading to the marginalization and dehumanization of refugees. By analyzing case studies and existing literature, it highlights the interconnectedness of global policies, racism, and the plight of displaced populations, ultimately advocating for a more equitable framework to address these pressing issues.
