Protection Conference Papers & Presentations

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) and Humanitarian Policy Group (HPG) at the Overseas Development Institute recently organized a conference entitled "Protecting People in Conflict and Crisis: Responding to the Challenges of a Changing World." Forced Migration Online (FMO) has made a conference page available with links to keynote papers and podcasts of the opening address and plenary sessions (some are still forthcoming).

I wanted to see if any of the other papers presented at the conference (or related papers that presentations were based on) were online. The results of my searches are listed alphabetically by title of the paper. Check the conference programme and the abstracts for more details about the presentations and authors.
