New open access book:

Disability Inclusion in Humanitarian Crises: Robust Human Rights Norms? (Springer, 2025) [open access]

- This book "addresses the challenges of recognizing and including persons with disabilities and indicates the degree to which disability is being mainstreamed in international law and humanitarian action. Further, it explores how international organizations have promoted a rights-based understanding of disability in international law, and to what extent this understanding has gained acceptance in humanitarian policy and practice. Theoretically, Funke and Dijkzeul explore the robustness of the disability inclusion norm cluster during processes of institutionalization, translation, and implementation. The book examines these processes from a multi-level perspective, which involves a variety of actors beyond states, including organizations of persons with disabilities."

News: "Routes Monitor" - New Tool from UNHCR

To support a route-based analysis of mixed movements, UNHCR has launched a new data platform that "brings together multiple sources of information – including from UNHCR, national authorities, UN and NGO partners, and media and social media monitoring – to show evolving trends, highlight protection needs and support more effective responses along entire journeys." 

Currently, users can view trends and patterns for five routes that have more abundant monitoring data available: Central Med., Eastern Med., Western Med., Western Africa Atlantic, South & South-East Asia. Each route also includes country-level figures. More general resource pages are provided for five other routes for which more limited data are available: Americas, Eastern Route to Yemen and the Gulf, Southern Africa, Western Balkans, Western Indian Ocean. 

A "Special Features" page also provides access to statistical info on "Main Nationalities," "Disembarkations" and the "Dead or Missing at Sea." 

For more information on the route-based approach to addressing mixed movements of refugees and migrants, visit this webpage in UNHCR's Operational Data Portal.
