Who is really responsible for holding refugees and asylum seekers hostage?

I believe that political power is all about guiding people through various institutions to provide services as needed. Most government that has received full democracy believe that the core of democratic values was formulated and signed by international law to ease the suffering of people after World War II, and that's what we know as "No one shall be subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment”

The question is not nations signed the international human rights do so follow international law? The answer is no! Why? Because political power and economic power is supposed to itch conventions do not protect national interests as we see it today in the western democratic states.

Their national interests are that refugees and asylum seekers are invading their countries, threatening their cultural values and economy. They are not seen as fleeing for their lives, but as criminals, and therefore should be denied access to safety, economic benefits, a fear many sound mind would described it as prejudice and discrimination. As a result, they have built physical and invisible wall, that anthropologist called global apartheid. Instead of building a global village as economists believe would ease suffering; they are building walls to separate the rich from the poor.

Thousands of refugees and asylum seekers across Europe who found themselves in this new asylum and refugee politics are hostages, in asylum camps for over 5 years without any hope in life. They are living through psychological and mental torture, yet any form of torture is described by international law as a crime. I am wondering if such treatment will make the world a better place.

Who is really responsible for holding refugees and asylum seekers hostage? What justification can we give to make people believe that human rights are being respected by those who signed it? It is easy to criticise others, but difficult to accept our own failures, because we have the economic power to cover up shame, as I observed here in this country. I am wondering to what democracy exactly mean!
