Still about race
In the first year of his second term in 2025, President Trump systematically reshaped the United States’ immigration system through a series of executive orders (EOs) and proclamations. This article argues that these EOs and their subsequent policies should not be simply understood as exceptional authoritarian tools in extraordinary political times in the United States. Instead, these seemingly disparate measures reflect historical continuity whe…
The Curious Case of Bhasan Char
On October 9, 2021, the Bangladesh Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief, and the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a common framework for humanitarian services for Rohingya refugees on Bhasanchar, an island 37 miles from the mainland in the Bay of Bengal. Bangladesh’s plan to relocate 100,000 Rohingya to Bhasanchar offers an opportunity to analyze the complex nature of refuge…
Strategic Cruelty
Violent border practices against irregular migration are not new, although increasing xenophobia and anti-immigrant sentiments have drawn greater attention to such practices in recent years. Such measures—both in and at the borders—constitute organized violence on migrant bodies, making them permanently insecure. This is particularly striking in the context of European liberal democracies with its established discourse of human rights, which have…
Once We Were Refugees
The 2017 violence in Myanmar led to an exodus of Rohingya to Bangladesh. Today, it hosts a million refugees and is home to the world’s largest camp. Bangladesh’s response to the new arrivals was described as ‘exemplary’, defined by widespread assistance and messages of solidarity expressed by the current government towards the Rohingya. Yet, Bangladesh is not a state party to the Refugee Convention, is reluctant to serve as a long-term host, and …
What's in a name? 'Refugees', 'migrants' and the politics of labelling
Through a critical examination of European immigration policy and using the case of Afghan asylum seekers in the European continent, this article argues that the politics of labelling and the criminalisation and securitisation of migration undermine the protection framework for the globally displaced. However, the issue goes deeper than state politicking to circumvent responsibilities under international law. The construction of migrants as victi…
Too many enemies
Over the past decades, a pattern has emerged across the Islamic world of secular actors struggling to build sustainable social movements while Islamists show a higher success rate in doing so—a dynamic often accompanied by high levels of violence and little space for dialogue between actors from across the political spectrum. In this article, we illustrate the utility of social movement theory (SMT) in explaining the ability of some movements to …
Heavy Hands, Helping Hands, Holding Hands
In recent years, attention has been paid in scholarship and practice to the need for ‘victim-centeredness’ in transitional justice (TJ) programming. Despite this, transitional mechanisms often underappreciate or obscure the critical dimensions of agency, the complexities within and between victim-centered mobilization and the experiences of such networks with TJ processes. Furthermore, they fail to capture victims’ experiences as political actors…
These Spaces in Between
National human rights institutions (NHRIs) play an instrumental role in defining the human rights culture of their respective countries through their monitoring function, auditing laws, instituting human rights education and making recommendations to governments to improve human rights conditions. In countries that have experienced large-scale human rights atrocities, NHRI mandates sometimes include working to establish processes to seek accounta…
Human Rights and Human Insecurity
Counterterrorism campaigns that fail to recognize the critical connection between rights denial and terrorism are shortsighted. To fight terrorism without regard to human rights furthers terrorist goals by endorsing the same faulty thinking of the terrorists: the ends justify the means. Since declaring the “global war on terror” in 2001, not only has the Bush administration failed to place human rights promotion at the center of its counterterror…
