New Issue of FMR

The June 2023 issue of Forced Migration Review (FMR) has been published, with a focus on "Mobilising for Rights in the MENA Region." Here's a snippet from the introduction:

"...This special feature asks: what role(s) can localised or transnational acts of mobilisation play in supporting the rights of forced migrants in the Middle East and North Africa region (MENA)? The articles in this special feature bring our attention to initiatives geared towards strengthening the rights of forced migrants across the MENA region. The authors show the importance of acts of mobilisation in different locations and contexts. However, they do not shy away from reflecting on the many obstacles that often confront such efforts. Some of these obstacles concern the complex legal landscapes these initiatives are operating in. Other obstacles relate to donor restrictions, European containment policies and practices, and the increasingly widespread criminalisation of solidarity – the process of illegalising support for other people’s human rights."

FMR72 includes seven articles and was produced in partnership with the University of Oslo’s REF-ARAB project. Readers can access FMR articles 1) individually, in HTML & PDF formats or 2) as a complete issue.

Back issues of FMR are available here.
