TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the crucial issue of whether boat people may be classified as political refugees in the legal sense under the circumstances in which they fled Vietnam, and propose a solution to this problem.
Abstract: Since the fall of Saigon in 1975 to the revolutionary forces of Vietnam thousands of people have left Vietnam in search of asylum. While many Vietnamese crossed the land border to China and some made their way by land to Thailand, a substantial group left Vietnam by boat seeking landfall in neighboring countries of Southeast Asia and Hong Kong. This group is commonly called the "boat people," a term which may have been inadvertently coined to avoid any direct acknowledgement of refugee status of these people, since such status would entail legal obligations to them. Since the inception of the "boat problem," these people have been called refugees without any close examination as to whether they are really political refugees under international law. At the same time, there is another view which argues that the boat people are not refugees. It is alleged that they are merely economic refugees, i.e., people seeking paradise. What I propose to do in this paper, is to address this crucial issue-whether under the circumstances in which they fled Vietnam, the boat people may be called genuine political refugees in the legal sense.
