Presidential Inauguration Academic Panels - Migration and Refugees: A Regional Perspective
Registration
Details
Refugee flows raise the interrelated questions of international protection and livelihoods. International and regional legal instruments, and customary law, regulate the protection to be provided to asylum-seekers and refugees. Instruments also provide for international cooperation in ensuring protection, livelihoods and durable solutions for the refugees. International cooperation is crucial for enabling host countries to ensure decent livelihoods for the refugees they host. Such as in the Arab region, hosts are mostly developing countries with economic and development burdens of their own.
The panel will discuss all the above issues relating them to the settlement of the conflicts that produced refugee flows in the first place.
