More info. on events in June and July

I highlighted several meetings scheduled to take place just after World Refugee Day in an earlier post. At the time, only limited information was available, so I am re-referencing them so readers have a chance to review background papers on issues that will be discussed.

- Here is the final agenda, the theme of which is "60 Years of Partnerships: The Road Ahead." In addition, background papers for the thematic and regional sessions have now been posted, along with information on two side events (Distance Learning and Strengthening National RSD Systems). Some of the issues to be addressed during the thematic sessions include statelessness among children, urban refugees, resettlement as a protection tool, UNHCR's regional dialogues with women and girls, housing/land/property rights, durable solutions for IDPs, Sudan, and detention.
