New Issues in Refugee Research

This message was circulated on the Forced Migration List:

"UNHCR's newly established Policy Development and Evaluation Service (PDES) has assumed responsibility for the publication of the research paper series, 'New Issues in Refugee Research.' PDES is hoping to increase the number of papers published in the series, and would like to hear from anyone who has a paper to contribute. Papers submitted to the series should be based on original research or thinking on refugee, humanitarian and migration issues. UNHCR aims to publish the papers as quickly as possible, and has no objection to the papers being republished in journals or books. For all correspondence, please contact hqep00@unhcr.org."

Three new working papers in this series were posted 14 July on the UNHCR site.

Forced displacement in Africa: Dimensions, difficulties and policy directions, Working Paper No. 126 [text]

The Refugee Convention as a rights blueprint for persons in need of international protection, Working Paper No. 125 [text]
