One consequence of this transition is the increased movement of people, often across international borders and sometimes under duress. This movement represents the largest refugee and migratory flow since the Second World War and has far-reaching implications for the international community.1 At the conceptual level, the former Soviet Union is a region where fundamental changes are taking place in relationships between individuals and their communities. States that have emerged or re-emerged in the post-Soviet era are engaging in a search for new concepts of national identity, as citizenship and lesser statuses for the inhabitants of those States are promulgated under new legal regimes. Legal frameworks in the region reflect these new national identities. A process is materializing at the international level to address the needs of those uprooted in the form of a Conference on Refugees, Returnees, Displaced Persons and Related Migratory Movements in the Commonwealdi
