This paper illustrates the situation of the large Afghan refugee population in Iran and discusses the country’s refugee policy in line with post-Taliban developments within Afghanistan. According to the authors, it is vital to recognize that regional and international developments will affect attempts to develop satisfactory responses to Afghan–Iranian population movements. They underline that progress on reconstruction and security in Afghanistan will facilitate a return and transition to the more managed migration regime. The paper also talks about the attitudes toward Afghan refugees, their return and reintegration, and international and refugee law perspectives.
