Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons

0

reliefweb.int -

The present Framework on Durable Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons aims to provide clarity on the concept of a durable solution and provides general guidance on how to achieve it. This version of the Framework builds on a pilot version released in 2007, which the Inter-Agency Standing Committee welcomed and suggested be field-tested. The Framework was revised and finalized in 2009, taking into account valuable feedback from the field on the pilot version and subsequent drafts.

Resolving Iraqi Displacement: Humanitarian and Development Perspectives

0

humansecuritygateway.com -

The Brookings-Bern Project on Internal Displacement, with support from the World Bank and other donors, initiated a process in mid-2009 to consider ways in which durable solutions for displaced Iraqis can be found. This process sought to identify actions which can be taken to prevent Iraqi displacement from becoming a protracted situation with long-term negative consequences for the displaced, for displacement- affected communities and for the region as a whole. This approach represents a more...

Past Failures and Future Transitions in Iraqi Reconstruciton

0

humansecuritygateway.com -

This document saya that outside aid has been critical in largely defeating the insurgency and in helping Iraq recover from the impact of the invasion in 2003 and the civil conflicts that followed. It has also helped mitigate the impact of previous decades of war, civil conflict, and misrule. At the same time, much of that aid has gone to waste, distorted Iraq’s economy, or left a legacy of projects Iraq does not need or cannot afford to support. From the onset, U.S. reconstruction efforts in more...

Life in the Promised Land: Resettled Refugee Youth Struggle in the U.S.

0

womensrefugeecommission.org -

The Women’s Refugee Commission traveled to Phoenix, Arizona in August 2009 to learn about young people’s experience resettling to the U.S. In particular, the delegation looked at what educational and skills training programs young people had access to while they were displaced that helped with their transition to the U.S.—and what additional services would have been helpful. The aim was to learn what more could be done during displacement to better prepare refugee youth for life in the more...

Ending the Agony: Seven Moves to Stabilize Afghanistan

0

humansecuritygateway.com -

This paper sets out seven policy initiatives which, building on London, deserve urgent consideration prior to the next major international conference on Afghanistan to be held in Kabul this spring. In 2009 Afghanistan saw its security situation worsen and its international partnerships fray. Taken together, these seven proposals could refocus the Afghan domestic reform agenda, overcome post-electoral distrust and lay the groundwork for a re-galvanized partnership to turn the corner on more...

Iraqi Refugees: Women’s Rights and Security Critical to Returns

0

refugeesinternational.org -

This field report says that the Iraqi refugee crisis is far from over and recent violence is creating further displacement. Iraqi women will resist returning home, even if conditions improve in Iraq, if there is no focus on securing their rights as women and assuring their personal security and their families’ well being. Reducing support to displaced families could force returns to insecure areas without adequate services and trigger additional instability in Iraq. Budget cuts will hit women more...

Statelessness: International Blind Spot Linked to Global Concerns

0

refugeesinternational.org -

This briefing argues that when world leaders gather to address hot issues such as security, governance, poverty, discrimination, human trafficking, and climate change, they invariably skirt around one of the problems that links them all: statelessness. Taking steps to uphold the nationality rights of the more than 12 million stateless persons around the world could go a long way toward responding to these inter-related challenges

The paper highlights key concepts in evidence-based practices, examines recommendations from recent published humanitarian reviews, and presents options to strengthen evidence-based decision-making in the design, implementation and evaluation of humanitarian assistance.

India: Close the Gap for Burmese Refugees

0

refugeesinternational.org -

This document says that like Burma’s other neighbors, India hosts a large and growing refugee population, the majority of whom are Chin ethnic minorities. India generally tolerates the presence of Burmese refugees, but does not afford them any legal protection, leaving them vulnerable to harassment, discrimination, and deportation. While India’s lack of a legal regime for refugees is a major impediment to addressing the needs of Burmese refugees, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and international more...

No Place Like Home: Iraq’s Refugee Crisis Threatens the Future of Iraq

0

jamestown.org -

The massive upheaval of Iraq’s population that has occurred since 2006 threatens the long-term stability of the country, regardless of short-term gains achieved through the political process or military surges. Symptomatic of a destabilized Iraq, displaced populations are themselves a source of future destabilization. Many Middle Eastern countries experienced instability resulting from Palestinians displaced after the establishment of Israel in 1948, the last refugee crisis of comparable more...
