Dear List Members,
A couple of new resources are now available on the web that shed more light
on the appointment process for the next High Commissioner for Refugees.
The first is an article entitled, "The Next HCR Must Refocus on Protection,"
in Forced Migration Review by ICVA's coordinator, Ed Schenkenberg van
Mierop; it's available at: http://www.fmreview.org/fmr0815.htm.
The second is a special issue of ICVA's Talk Back newsletter that is devoted
to the topic of the next HC. The introduction includes some important
information on new candidates and former candidates that have withdrawn
their names from consideration. In addition, three replies from prospective
candidates are reproduced, in response to a letter sent by ICVA requesting
them to indicate their vision for the future of UNHCR. The text is
available at: http://www.icva.ch/cgi-bin/browse.pl?doc=doc00000192.
