  • Echo Annual Review 2002
    COMMISSIONER’S MESSAGE entire generations of uprooted people have only experienced war and exile. We have a duty to help Humanitarian them survive but the international community also needs to give more attention to finding durable long-term solutions. On the other hand, there were principles some positive developments during 2002 which suggest that even apparently intractable crises can be solved. I have already mentioned Angola. In Sri must be Lanka, the peace process also revealed major post- crisis needs but encouragingly, in a context where it was possible to identify the light at the end of the respected tunnel. In Afghanistan, where ECHO was still heavily engaged, the fact that so many people returned home was a good sign although a sustained international effort, especially on longer term re- construction, will be needed for some time before 1 we can say that this crisis is finally over. In the Balkans, the post-crisis consolidation continued, allowing ECHO to make further progress in phasing out its operations, in favour of longer term development instruments put in place by the European Union, as well as by other donors. In 2002, ECHO again paid close attention to “forgotten crises” with significant funding for people whose plight rarely hits the headlines, including Western Saharan, Burmese and Bhutanese refugees, and conflict victims in Nepal, Somalia and Northern François Goemans, ECHO Uganda. As the year drew to a close, and the first Poul Nielson visits a The Humanitarian Aid Office of the European disquieting signals started to appear, ECHO prepared hospital in the Commission (ECHO), which is one of the world’s for the possibility of a major new crisis in Iraq.

All this has occurred at a time when new crises have emerged around the world, from South Sudan to Yemen, and the United Nations is embarking on a process of reflection on whether and how to update the global governance of forced migration. Research has an important role to play: in challenging myths, reframing questions, providing critical distance, offering practical solutions, and upholding the value of evidence.

It was a just an ordinary day – such a one that not long ago all of them could only dream about. Now everyday activities of growing rice, catching fi sh, and simple leisure are proof of the peace, social integration, and improved livelihoods of Cambodians in 2007. The scenes took place alongside a new road funded by Ockenden’s donor and partners, Sir Michael and Lady Kadoorie and the Kadoorie Charitable Foundation. 2 Design by nova: [email protected] VISION & DEDICATION The life of a refugee is far from ordinary.

  • Mission Statement
    Mission statement UNHCR - The United Nations Refugee Agency UNHCR is mandated by the United Nations to lead and coordinate international action for the worldwide protection of refugees and the resolution of refugee problems. UNHCR’s primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. In its efforts to achieve this objective, UNHCR strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another state, and to return home voluntarily. By assisting refugees to return to their own country or to settle permanently in another country, UNHCR also seeks lasting solutions to their plight. UNHCR’s efforts are mandated by the organization’s Statute, and guided by the 1951 United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees and its 1967 Protocol. International refugee law provides an essential framework of principles for UNHCR’s humanitarian activities. In support of its core activities on behalf of refugees, UNHCR’s Executive Committee and the UN General Assembly have authorized the organization’s involvement with other groups. These include former refugees who have returned to their homeland; internally displaced people; and people who are stateless or whose nationality is disputed. UNHCR seeks to reduce situations of forced displacement by encouraging states and other institutions to create conditions which are conducive to the protection of human rights and the peaceful resolution of disputes. In pursuit of the same objective, UNHCR actively seeks to consolidate the reintegration of returning refugees in their country of origin, thereby averting the recurrence of refugee-producing situations. UNHCR is an impartial organization, offering protection and assistance to refugees and others on the basis of their needs and irrespective of their race, religion, political opinion or gender.

  • 7155 Ockenden International, Formerly the Ockenden Venture, Refugee Charity of Woking: Records, Including Papers of Joyce Pearce Obe (1915-1985), Founder, 1929-2006
    SURREY HISTORY SERVICE SURREY COUNTY COUNCIL 130 GOLDSWORTH ROAD, WOKING 7155 OCKENDEN INTERNATIONAL, FORMERLY THE OCKENDEN VENTURE, REFUGEE CHARITY OF WOKING: RECORDS, INCLUDING PAPERS OF JOYCE PEARCE OBE (1915-1985), FOUNDER, 1929-2006 Provenance Deposited by the Trustees of Ockenden International in January 2002, August 2002 and December 2006. The preparation of this catalogue was funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund in 2009-10. Introduction The Ockenden Venture was founded in 1951 by three local schoolteachers, and took its name from founder Joyce Pearce’s family home ‘Ockenden’ in White Rose Lane, Woking. The Ockenden Venture became a registered charity on 24 February 1955, under the War Charities Act 1940, its stated object being to receive young East European people from post World War II displaced persons camps in Germany and 'to provide for their maintenance, clothing, education, recreation, health and general welfare'. Within a few years, world events and the increasing numbers of refugees world wide would lead it to widen both its remit and its scope. The project had begun in 1951, when Joyce Pearce (1915- 1985) persuaded Woking District Council to help support a holiday for 17 displaced East European teenagers at her sixth form centre at Ockenden House, as part of the Festival of Britain. An ad hoc arrangement was subsequently made for two of the girls to stay in Woking when they had obtained visas to attend school in England. The plight of older non-German speaking children in the refugee camps, for whom the educational provision was inadequate, provided the stimulus for Joyce Pearce, her friend and teaching colleague Margaret Dixon (1907-2001) and her cousin Ruth Hicks (1900-1986), headmistress of Greenfield School, Woking, to found the Ockenden Venture.

  • Security and Displacement in Iraq Security and Sarah Kenyon Lischer Displacement in Iraq Responding to the Forced Migration Crisis
    Security and Displacement in Iraq Security and Sarah Kenyon Lischer Displacement in Iraq Responding to the Forced Migration Crisis Contrary to all expec- tations, the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 did not immediately trigger massive refugee ºows. The anxious aid workers massed on the border packed up and left, heading to more urgent crises. In February 2006 the bombing of the al- Askari Mosque in Samarra dispelled that calm. The destruction of the Shiite shrine precipitated an eruption of sectarian violence throughout the country. Since then, millions of Iraqis have ºed their homes, and displacement has be- come a central strategy in the civil war. Similar to the ethnic cleansing in Bosnia, militant groups have engineered these colossal population movements to consolidate their power and expand their territorial claims. Despite the evi- dence from past refugee crises, responses to the Iraqi crisis have thus far ig- nored the grave security threat it poses at home and in neighboring states. Understanding the potential for massive and protracted displacement crises to destabilize international security is essential if policymakers hope to prevent the manipulation and militarization of the displaced Iraqis. In March 2008 the International Organization for Migration estimated that 2.4 million Iraqi refugees had ºed the country, primarily to Jordan and Syria, and 2.7 million more remained displaced within Iraq.1 Initially, the displaced Iraqis received a sympathetic reception in their new locations.2 With no solu- tions in sight, however, the host governments, both within and outside Iraq, Sarah Kenyon Lischer is Assistant Professor of Political Science at Wake Forest University.

  • Refugees' Right to Work and Access to Labor Markets
    KNOMAD STUDY Refugees’ Right to Work and Access to Labor Markets – An Assessment Part II: Count ry Cases (Preliminary) Roger Zetter Héloïse Ruaudel September 2016 i The KNOMAD Working Paper and Study Series disseminates work in progress under the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD). A global hub of knowledge and policy expertise on migration and development, KNOMAD aims to create and synthesize multidisciplinary knowledge and evidence; generate a menu of policy options for migration policy makers; and provide technical assistance and capacity building for pilot projects, evaluation of policies, and data collection. KNOMAD is supported by a multi-donor trust fund established by the World Bank. Germany’s Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), Sweden’s Ministry of Justice, Migration and Asylum Policy, and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) are the contributors to the trust fund. The views expressed in this study do not represent the views of the World Bank or the sponsoring organizations. All queries should be addressed to [email protected]. KNOMAD studies, working papers and a host of other resources on migration are available at www.KNOMAD.org. ii Refugees’ Right to Work and Access to Labor Markets – An Assessment* Roger Zetter and Héloïse Ruaudel† Abstract For refugees, the right to work is vital for reducing vulnerability, enhancing resilience, and securing dignity. Harnessing refugees’ skills can also benefit local economic activity and national development. But there are many obstacles. Based on a sample of 20 countries hosting 70 percent of the world’s refugees, this study investigates the role and impact of legal and normative provisions providing and protecting refugees’ right to work within the 1951 Refugee Convention as well as from the perspective of non- signatory states.
