This book was released on 1989 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers submitted to the International Conference on Central American Refugees (CIREFCA) are contained in this collection. One of the main objectives of the Conference was to identify new solutions to the problem of refugees, returnees and displaced persons in Central America. The main themes treated in the various papers relate to the need to change from ad-hoc emergency responses to the refugee problem in the region, to programmes aimed at self-sufficiency and durable solutions. The papers reflect the necessity for a developmental dimension to assistance offered to refugees, returnees and displaced persons, envisaged by linking the needs of these groups, those of the host communities and the development plans of each country. The impact of such refugee movements on the surrounding population and socio-economic infrastructure of the host community is stressed throughout. Individual country studies are presented, which outline the policy and strategies of various governments for promoting possible solutions. Project proposals include agricultural development, rural settlement, construction, improvement of infrastructure, creation of employment opportunities, health care, etc. Other reports also contained in this collection include that of UNHCR which gives a historical overview of 100 years of asylum instruments in Latin America, and discusses issues such as voluntary repatriation and UNHCR cooperation in favour of protection and assistance. The paper submitted by UNDP takes as its starting point an analysis of the experiences of the various agencies of the UN system, governmental institutions and the most important contributions of bilateral and multilateral cooperation agencies in Central America. Guidelines are proposed by UNDP for integrating the needs of refugees, returnees and displaced persons into national development programmes. Finally, the Declaration and Concerted Plan of Action adopted by the Conference as an initial framework for future activities towards a firm and lasting peace in the region is included in this collection.

Book excerpt: A comprehensive and timely examination of the history and current status of immigrants and refugees—their stories, the events that led to their movement, and the place of these movements in contemporary history and politics. Immigration and Asylum: From 1900 to the Present is an accessible and up-to-date introduction to the key concepts, terms, personalities, and real-world issues associated with the surge of immigration from the beginning of the 20th century to the present.

Download or read book Comparative Regional Protection Frameworks for Refugees written by Susan Kneebone and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection focuses on regional approaches to refugee protection, and specifically upon the norms, and the norm entrepreneurs of those approaches. It considers how recent crises in refugee protection (such as the Syrian and Andaman Sea crises) have highlighted the strengths and limits of regional approaches to refugee protection and the importance of looking closely at the underlying norms, and the identities and activities of the relevant ‘norm entrepreneurs’ at the regional level. It compares the norms of refugee protection that have evolved in three regions: the EU, Latin America and the South East Asian region, to identify which norms of refugee protection have been ‘internalised’ in the three regional contexts and to contextualise the processes. The authors demonstrate the need for awareness of the roles of different norm ‘entrepreneurs’ such as states, international organisations and civil society, in developing and promoting basic norms on refugee protection. This book was originally published as a special issue of The International Journal of Human Rights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Taking the context of forced migration, this book addresses the role that regional, in contrast to national or global, institutions and relationships play in shaping asylum policies and procedures. It examines the causes of forced migration movements; the direction of forced migration flows and its effect upon the immediate region; policy responses towards forced migration (in particular ASEAN and the European Community); cooperative arrangements and agreements between regional states; and the protection of human rights. The book also considers the role that regional responses are likely to play in determining the direction of asylum policy in receiving states and procedures in the future.

Download or read book International Law in Transition written by Dhokalia and published by Martinus Nijhoff Publishers. This book was released on 2023-09-20 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume, written in memory of Judge Nagendra Singh are centred around the theme of `International Law in Transition'. The international legal system has been in transition ever since the end of the Second World War, and it can be argued that a `new' international law has emerged, different from traditional Eurocentric law, and comprising legal principles and standards of behaviour acceptable to all States, irrespective of their ideological, economic or political systems. Innovations in international law have been brought about in response to contemporary needs, demands and aspirations within the global community, to fill gaps in the existing law, and in order to bring it into some accord with radically new societal conditions. Distinguished scholars, jurists and judges from around the world have contributed essays to this thought-provoking book.
