The English edition of FMR 34, with a major feature on Urban
displacement, is now online at http://www.fmreview.org/urban-displacement/
In their introductory articles in the feature section, UN High
Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres and UN-HABITAT Executive
Director Anna Tibaijuka emphasise the complexity of the challenges faced
by those displaced into urban areas and by those seeking to protect and
assist them, and argue for the need for a radical rethinking of
approaches by the international community.
In the 26 articles of the feature theme, practitioners, policymakers and
researchers from around the world discuss these approaches, present case
studies, highlight issues of concern and put forward recommendations for
action. The issue also includes a spotlight on Haiti and the use of
standards to shape response and recovery after the earthquake in
January, plus a selection of articles on subjects such as Mauritania,
South Africa, Timor-Leste, Colombia, Pakistan, the new Kampala
Convention, family separation in the UK, cross-border mobility of Iraqi
refugees, and maternal mortality among conflict-affected populations.
