The RSC’s approach embraces the following three broad areas as priorities for investigation: •Forced migration, global economy and governance •The experience and management of displacement •Institutional and normative responses to forced migration These areas are described in greater detail below, together with Acehnese tsunami survivors at a make-shift roadside camp in Batee Geulungku (Bireuen).(E-L Headman) brief descriptions of recent and ongoing projects which fall into Conflict, violence and displacement both from National Institute for each category.

  • For a Safer Tomorrow Protecting Civilians in a Multipolar World Oxfam Ireland, Món Oxfam (Spain), Tional 2008 Na Ong, Inter Acterises Modern Warfare
    For a Safer Tomorrow For a Safer Tomorrow Protecting civilians in a multipolar world Since the end of the Cold War, the number of armed conflicts in the world has fallen. But is this trend now about to be reversed? Climate change, poverty and inequality, and the wider availability of weapons all add to the risk of conflicts increasing. In 1949, the Geneva Conventions enshrined people’s rights to be protected from atrocities in conflict. Yet civilians are still killed, raped, and forced to flee their homes, 60 years on. In 2005, almost every government in the world agreed its Responsibility to Protect civilians. Many have failed to keep this promise. Governments must now make new efforts to take up the challenge in a rapidly changing ‘multipolar’ world, where China and the USA will be the ‘superpowers’, and Protecting civilians in a m where India, the European Union, Brazil, and others are gaining new global influence. Many people feel that there is little that can be done to prevent the brutal targeting of civilians that characterises modern warfare. They are wrong. This report, based on Oxfam International’s experience in most of the world’s conflicts, sets out an ambitious agenda to protect civilians through combining local, national, and regional action with far more consistent international support. ultipolar wor For ld a Safer Eric Canalstein/UN Photo Tomorrow www.oxfam.org © Oxfam International 2008 Protecting civilians Oxfam International is a confederation of 13 organisations working together in more than 100 countries to find lasting solutions to poverty and injustice: Oxfam America, Oxfam Australia, Oxfam-in-Belgium, in a multipolar world Oxfam Canada, Oxfam France - Agir ici, Oxfam Germany, Oxfam GB, Oxfam Hong Kong, Intermón Oxfam (Spain), Oxfam Ireland, Oxfam New Zealand, Oxfam Novib (Netherlands), and Oxfam Québec.

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.
