Recognising refugees – FMR call for articles
Forced Migration Review issue 65 – to be published in October 2020 – will include a major feature on Recognising refugees.
www.fmreview.org/recognising-refugees
Deadline for submission of articles: Monday 15th June 2020
(Please circulate to anyone you think might be interested.)
It is generally assumed that States need processes in order to determine who is a refugee, and who is not – in other words, that they should conduct refugee status determination (RSD). However, in over 50 countries it is the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) that conducts RSD, including when States are not party to the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees and/or where they lack a fully functioning national asylum procedure. RSD determines who is offered international protection, which status they receive, and who is excluded from protection under Article 1F of the Refugee Convention. Clearly, the accessibility, fairness and efficiency of RSD have immense implications for the protection and assistance of people of concern.
The aim of this FMR feature is to deepen and broaden our understanding of how refugees are recognised and will explore the full range of modes of recognition, whether group-based or individual: from temporary protection in Turkey, to prima facie recognition across Africa, to the highly individualised systems in many European States. It is being produced in collaboration with the Refugee Studies Centre’s team working on the ERC-funded RefMig project led by Professor Cathryn Costello.
We are looking for concise, challenging, policy/practice-oriented articles that present analysis, lessons and good practice with wide relevance.
See www.fmreview.org/recognising-refugees for the full call for articles. This includes a list of questions to be addressed in this issue, plus guidance about how to propose and/or submit articles for this issue. It is important that you read the full call for articles before contacting us with your proposal for an article.
