Crisis

45

Many people who are displaced, or become ‘trapped’, in the context of diverse humanitarian crises do not fit well within existing legal, policy and operational frameworks for the protection of refugees and IDPs. This raises questions about whether there needs to be – or can be – more systematic ways of dealing with assistance and protection for people affected by ‘crises’ such as environmental disruption, gang violence, nuclear disasters, food shortages and so on. FMR 45 contains 33 articles on crisis, migration and displacement, and eight general articles on other subjects relating to forced migration.

 

This issue of FMR is available online in English in pdf, html and audio formats, and online in French, Spanish and Arabic in html and pdf formats. It is available in print in all four languages.

A four-sided expanded contents listing of all articles in this issue of FMR is also available. This provides for each article: the title, the author(s) and their affiliation, the introductory sentences and a link to the full article online. It is available online and in print in English, French, Spanish and Arabic.

Please note that FMR is now A5 format (half of A4). In order to print it out properly, please use your printer’s ‘Booklet’ setting. The Listing is still A4 format.
