Leopold, the Rapporteur, presents a summary of the proceedings. Included is a résumé of the keynote address by HRH Crown Prince el Hassan bin Talal of Jordan and a summary of the papers and discussion concerning case histories covering Ethiopia, Malawi, the Sudan, Senegal, Pakistan, Hong Kong and Central America. According to the summary, discussion after the case histories centered around eight main issues: the correlation between mortality/morbidity rates and malnutrition; the correlation between size of camp and malnutrition/mortality rates; supplementary feeding; formal and informal monetization; the role of refugee women; the roles of different actors on the ground; the inaccuracies involved in counting refugees; geo-political issues. Another section of the symposium focused on institutional constraints of various UN agencies and the UN response to refugee food requirements. Summaries are given of presentations by representatives of donor countries, host countries and refugee organizations. Recommendations from the symposium focused on the reponsibilities of all governments, strengthening institutional capacity, and improving systems of operation. The report also contains a summary of the symposium papers by D. Keen.

Download or read book Beyond Charity International Cooperation and the Global Refugee Crisis written by Gil Loescher and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1996-08-08 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With more than 18 million refugees worldwide, the refugee problem has fostered an intense debate regarding what political changes are necessary in the international system to provide effective solutions in the 1990s and beyond. In the past, refugees have been perceived largely as a problem of international charity, but as the end of the Cold War triggers new refugee movements across the globe, governments are being forced to develop a more systematic approach to the refugee problem. Beyond Charity provides the first extensive overview of the world refugee crisis today, asserting that refugees raise not only humanitarian concerns but also issues of international peace and security. Gil Loescher argues persuasively that a central challenge in the post Cold-War era is to develop a comprehensive refugee policy that preserves the right of asylum while promoting greater political and diplomatic efforts to address the causes of flight. He presents the contemporary crisis in a historical framework and explores the changing role of the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Loescher suggests short-term and long-term reforms that address both the current refugee crisis and its underlying causes. The book also details the ways governmental structures and international organizations could be strengthened to assume more effective assistance, protection, and political mediation functions. Beyond Charity helps frame the debate on the global refugee crisis and offers directions for more effective approaches to refugee problems at present and in the future.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liguria is another country. They do things differently there, particularly when it comes to food. Lucio Galletto grew up in Liguria—at the eastern end of the Riviera di Levante (coast of the rising sun). He didn't realize how special his region was until he fell in love with an Australian girl and traveled 12,000 kilometers to be with her. In 2008 Lucio, and writer David Dale, along with photographer Paul Green, returned to the birthplace of ravioli and pesto and wild-greens pie to investigate how the cooking of Lucio's region had evolved during his 25-year absence. They found a new breed of chefs, farmers, and fishermen adapting traditions to the environmental concerns of the 21st century. Still using the wonderful array of local herbs, vegetables, and seafood, they apply a lighter touch and a more adventurous spirit. In this stunningly photographed book, Lucio brings us the fruits of his travels—180 delicious recipes that respect the experience of the past and anticipate the demands of the future; dishes that are fun to cook, beautiful to look at, a pleasure to share, and kind to the body. And, importantly, that pay homage to the sunny Riviera di Levante from which Lucio's culinary journey began. This book was the winner of the 2008 Gourmand Award for Best Italian Cuisine Book (Australian Category), and the 2009 Cordon d'Or Cuisine Award for Best Illustrated Culinary Book.
