Building the Infrastructure for the Observance of Refugee Rights in the Global South
Refugees in the Global South face many serious violations of their rights. Several major host states have failed to ratify both the Refugee Convention and the 1967 Protocol. However, even among those states that have ratifi ed one or both, few have enacted the domestic legislation to implement the provisions, and no state in the South has made a serious effort to bring domestic law in other subjects—immigration, health, labour, education—into har…
Starting a Movement of Refugee Legal Aid Organizations in the South
This paper reviews the access to legal representation in the Global South and should be read with the Nairobi Code and the SRLAN Charter
In Search of 'Invisible' Actors
The paper traces the early history of refugee research and shows how, from originally being prime movers in the research, refugees today have largely been reduced to invisibility. In the South, access to refugees held in camps is controlled by local government bureaucracies and by lead agencies, and may be severely restricted or completely denied; in the North, refugees held in detention centres are equally difficult to access and even more disem…
Rights in Exile
Of the estimated 12 million refugees in the world, more than 7 million have been confined to camps, effectively warehoused, in some cases, for 10 years or more. Holding refugees in camps was anathema to the founders of the refugee protection regime. Today, with most refugees encamped in the less developed parts of the world, the humanitarian apparatus has been transformed into a custodial regime for innocent people. Based on rich ethnographic dat…

Disposable People Through the Green Door
In this article, originally delivered as a keynote address at the 1999 Chicago World Mission Institute which addressed the theme "Disposable People? Refugees, Migrants, and the Church's Mission Today," Dr. Barbara Harrell-Bond tells about some of the people that she has encountered in her work as a researcher into refugee rights in East Africa. Using this narrative approach, Dr. Harrell-Bond paints poignant portraits of people who, in the eyes of…
Refugee Women in Europe
This article presents an overview of the legal and policy issues affecting refugee and asylum‐seeking women in European host societies. First, it explores the unique types of persecution experienced by women and shows that the asylum determination process, along with the status of women relative to men, mitigates against the effective protection of women. The legal basis for asylum, the evidential requirements and the procedural norms all reduce …

Counting the Refugees
This paper examines the justifications, operational methods and results of the requirement to enumerate refugee populations prior to supplying food aid. The authors argue (1) that this practices in refugee assistance, forming part of ‘an ideology of control’ within aid programmes, and (3) that it fails to provide the ‘accountability’ sought by donors. In addition, the paper questions the usual notion of ‘fairness’ in the distribution of welfare g…
Anthropology and the Study of Refugees
Dealing with Dying
This paper explores how an anthropological understanding of death could inform relief provision so as to substantially improve the welfare of refugees. Most of the material is drawn from African examples. Even if effective assistance is provided, many refugees die during flight and exile. Using case material it is shown that despite the lack of resources, refugees continue to invest heavily in funeral and burial rites. Through lack of understandi…

Imposing Aid
Repatriation
What excites me...is the presence of refugees amongst us who have arrived here straight from refugee camps. It strikes me as quite extraordinary that we should be hailing this as such an innovation. But innovation it is. I would hope that experts will never again have the effrontery to sit down together to discuss refugees without refugees being present, but I doubt it. Refugee work remains, perhaps, the last bastion of the ultra-paternalistic ap…

The Plight of the Oromo Refugees in the Horn of Africa
The History of the Oromo people of Ethiopia is one of colonization, subjugation and decimation. In fact, the first refugees on record in the Horn were Oromos who left their homeland during the early period of Ethiopian occupation. Annexation by Ethiopia meant the loss of their main source of livelihood, the land, and the denial of the most basic human and national rights. The situation prompted frequent armed uprisings, which have become more org…
Imposing Aid
This book represents an opportunity to see beyond the starving child image of the refugee. Every year relief budgets climb and humanitarian agencies proliferate in response to media appeals to save yet another population of starving, helpless refugees. But what happens after the cameras leave? What is the impact of the millions which are spent? What is the effect of the work of the humanitarians who are propelled into the field, and to whom are t…

Misunderstandings Arising from the Use of the Term 'Creole' in the Literature on Sierra Leone
Opening ParagraphThroughout the growing body of literature on Sierra Leone a considerable degree of error has persisted over the use of the term 'creole' and the resultant confusion has led to repeated failure to describe accurately the society of the colony. This is not merely an academic problem. The very existence of such literature feeds back into the 'collective representations' of the society and has provided a false historical basis for th…
