This book was released on 1989 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This statement, prepared for the International Conference on Indo-Chinese Refugees by the Advocacy Planning Task Force, an ad hoc group of Indo-Chinese-American community leaders based in the Washington DC area, and endorsed by 145 Indo-Chinese organizations in the United States, Canada and Europe, expresses the concern of the overseas Indo-Chinese community about the present treatment of asylum seekers from the Indo-Chinese region. The statement also reflects their concern regarding measures proposed at the International Conference. In the first part of the statement, the authors recommend, in particular, that any international arrangements and practices being worked out for Vietnamese should apply equally to asylum seekers from Laos and Kampuchea, and that Kampucheans should be given the status of refugees rather than 'displaced persons' as in the past. Section II is a 'Call to Action' to ensure safe refuge, genuine protection and timely resettlement for all Indo-Chinese asylum seekers. The third and final section offers specific recommendations regarding the implementation of elements contained in the Comprehensive Plan of Action adopted by the Conference. These elements consist of screening, orderly departure programmes, repatriation, resettlement and oversight and enforcement mechanisms.

Book We   Re in Danger  Who Will Help Us

Download or read book We Re in Danger Who Will Help Us written by James N. Purcell Jr. and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 511 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Victims of wars, oppression, and famine depend on well-prepared interventions for their basic survival. Yet in the twenty-first century, the world's conscience has gone dormant, and governments have been left free to ignore or trivialize their moral obligations to humankind. Caring societies cannot hide from these daunting humanitarian challenges. As in the past, only experienced, bold leadership can marshal allies for proposed twenty-first century solutions. We're in DANGER! Who Will HELP Us? is the chronicle of one humanitarian leader's experience working on behalf of civilian victims of war, oppression, and famine, fully revealed in American know-how, initiative, and grit. James N. Purcell Jr. writes from leadership perspectives gained directing global humanitarian organizations and shares his and his team's daring interventions into the humanitarian crisis in Indochina following the Vietnam War and in other world regions—interventions that saved, protected, and restored the lives of millions of refugees. Presidents, feisty congressional debates, and strong volunteer groups helped Purcell and his team marshal allies for twentieth-century solutions, and today he makes the case for the same unyielding spirit for humanitarian crises in Syria, the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Central America. Civilization's new test is whether we can help free the world's conscience and regain a sense of moral outrage, purpose, and resolve to face our responsibilities directly and to act. As caring members of the international community, we must determine our appropriate and equitable roles in solving systemic dysfunctions that bring people to the brink of despair—and help those we can.

This book was released on 2013-09-28 with total page 390 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The chapters in this book explore the impact of recent shifts in global and regional power and the subsequent development and enforcement of international refugee protection standards in the Asia Pacific region. Drawing on their expertise across a number of jurisdictions, the contributors assess the challenges confronting the implementation of international law in the region, as well as new opportunities for extending protection norms into national and regional dialogues.

Book The Arc of Protection

Download or read book The Arc of Protection written by T. Alexander Aleinikoff and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The international refugee regime is fundamentally broken. Designed in the wake of World War II to provide protection and assistance, the system is unable to address the record numbers of persons displaced by conflict and violence today. States have put up fences and adopted policies to deny, deter, and detain asylum seekers. People recognized as refugees are routinely denied rights guaranteed by international law. The results are dismal for the millions of refugees around the world who are left with slender prospects to rebuild their lives or contribute to host communities. T. Alexander Aleinikoff and Leah Zamore lay bare the underlying global crisis of responsibility. The Arc of Protection adopts a revisionist and critical perspective that examines the original premises of the international refugee regime. Aleinikoff and Zamore identify compromises at the founding of the system that attempted to balance humanitarian ideals and sovereign control of their borders by states. This book offers a way out of the current international morass through refocusing on responsibility-sharing, seeing the humanitarian-development divide in a new light, and putting refugee rights front and center.
