Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This bibliography of almost 800 entries includes books, newspaper, magazine and journal articles, unpublished papers, government documents, human rights reports, newsletters and bulletins, and other print material which was gathered by students and faculty during the course of a research seminar on the topic at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs of the University of Texas at Austin during 1983-1984. The bibliography does not claim to be an exhaustive listing of resources on Central American refugee issues. Although there was an attempt to gather as much information as possible, much of the material reflects a Texas focus. The major sections of this publication include: 1) books, manuscripts, unpublished papers, and church, government and human rights reports; 2) magazine and journal articles; 3) newspaper articles, editorials and statements; and 4) newsletters, bulletins, other reports and resources. Within each section, entries are arranged alphabetically first by title (when there is no author given), then alphabetically by author. Finally there is an index by subject and country. This publication reflects the combined efforts of the LBJ School of Public Affairs of the University of Texas, and the Central America Resource Center, a nonprofit educational and information Center located in Austin.

Book excerpt: This report is based on a fact-finding mission to Mexico in August 1990, covering the northern and southern border areas as well as Mexico City and environs. The report is an attempt to explain the dramatic rise in Mexico's effort to stop Central Americans en route to the United States, why it is occurring, and what effect it is having on the rights of Central Americans fleeing war and persecution. It examines the treatment of Central Americans in Mexico, both in terms of their recognized legal rights, as well as the realities many face that diverge greatly from the letter of the law. The report begins with an analysis of the US role in controlling Central American migration. Special attention is given to 'Operation Hold the Line,' initiated by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service in February 1989. Cooperation between Mexican and US officials to stop the Central American flow is investigated. The report then turns to the policy of the Mexican Government concerning refugee status determination and refugee procedures. It notes the de facto recognition of Guatemalan refugees as a group with a massive relocation in 1984 before examining the implications of Mexico's new law of 1990 defining refugees. General perceptions of the new law are analysed in terms of the significance of law in Mexican Government and society. In addition, the report presents the experiences of various Central Americans who have not been affected by the good intentions of the new law, some of whom have been detained and deported by Mexican authorities. The report includes several conclusions and recommendations dealing with enforcement of the new law and the necessity that asylum adjudication in Mexico adhere to internationally accepted standards of due process. The recommendations are also addressed to increased protection by the US.

This book was released on 1984 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Civil strife and deteriorating economic conditions in El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Guatemala have caused hundreds of thousands of refugees to seek asylum and assistance in other Central American countries, Mexico and the United States. While international organizations and some asylum country governments provide the basic material needs of refugees who seek assistance most refugees remain outside assistance programs. This report discusses the policies of an extent of assistance given to Central American refugees by the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees and other international organizations, refugees' living conditions and prospects in asylum countries, and U.s. and asylum government policies toward refugees. it also examines (1) the link between assistance and asylum opportunities available to refugees in the region and the possible future migration of refugees to the United States and (2) the potential impact of such migration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report examines the situation of refugees and displaced persons in Central America with particular emphasis on assistance and protection issues and on the US Government's policy in the region. It is divided into five parts. The first contains an overview of refugee exoduses and movements of displaced persons within Central America and Mexico. The author suggests that the US Government has not paid sufficient attention to the problems of refugees and displaced persons in Central America, despite the fact that US contributions to UNHCR have been an essential component in the international refugee programmes in that region. The legal status of refugees and protection issues in each country are examined in the second and third parts. The author notes that Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama and, recently, Guatemala and El Salvador are signatories to the UN 1951 Convention and its 1967 Protocol. At the same time, she observes that there are no refugee programmes in Guatemala and that the UNHCR has neither been invited to investigate the conditions of the 70,000 Salvadorians there nor to establish programmes to help them. It is pointed out that, while adhering to the principle of non-refoulement, the Mexican Government has been under pressure both internally and also from the US Government to pursue repatriation negotiations with the Guatemalan Government, and that some Salvadorian refugees may have been sent back across the border to Guatemala. The author argues that displaced persons are on the whole more vulnerable than refugee groups to repression and assault, and she notes that the situation in El Salvador has been recognized as a major humanitarian emergency by the Government. The two final parts of the report contain the conclusions and recommendations. The author's recommendations include: 1) assistance programmes should be channelled through local churches or other independent agencies; 2) the US Government should ensure that its assistance programmes be administered by social service agencies, not the military as is the case in Guatemala; 3) there should be an increased international presence in Nicaragua to exert a humanitarian influence in issues concerning Miskito Indians; 4) the US should continue to support ICRC programmes in Nicaragua; 5) US assistance programmes in El Salvador should be less politicized; and 6) the US Government should avoid allowing political and military considerations to take precedence over the protection of refugees. In conclusion, the author suggests that the restoration of peace in the region would result in voluntary repatriation.
