Contested regionalism in the Asia-Pacific
Due to the lack of formal refugee protection framework, the Asia-Pacific region represents a particularly interesting case study regarding the interface between migration management and refugee protection. Since the end of the Indochinese refugee crisis in the late 1990s, priorities have largely shifted towards a more security and law enforcement approach, as embedded in particular in the Bali Process on People smuggling, Trafficking in Persons a…
Southeast Asia and the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees
The 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, supplemented by its 1967 Protocol, is the most comprehensive and universal instrument adopted to date to safeguard the fundamental rights of refugees and to regulate their status in countries of asylum. Yet, 70 years after its adoption, many countries – most of them in Asia – are unwilling to accede to it. Focusing on the ASEAN States, this article explores the reasons behind Southeast Asia’…
Between refugee protection and migration management
This article discusses the role of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in the context of significant changes in global migration governance. Drawing more specifically on examples from the Asia-Pacific region, it sheds light on the way UNHCR and IOM cooperate in situations where both organisations might claim to have legitimacy to intervene based on their mandate, eg in s…
Transit Migration in Niger
Since 2015, the European Union has stepped up its efforts to curb irregular migration from sub-Saharan Africa through increasingly restrictive measures targeting transit countries along migratory routes, including Niger. While the EU has heralded the success of its policies to limit migration through Niger, EU migration policies have disrupted the economic system in Agadez, where transit migration has been one of the main sources of income and a …
Keeping Up Appearances
The fact that most Southeast Asian States are not party to the main instruments pertaining to the protection of refugees has given rise to the ‘rejection of international refugee law’ theory, which has largely dominated the literature on the issues pertaining to refugees in Southeast Asia. Based on an analysis of the practices of Southeast Asian States with regard to refugees, this article argues that although they are not party to the 1951 Conve…
Some reflections on the IFRC's approach to migration and displacement
This article provides an overview of the development of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) approach to migration and displacement. The focus of the IFRC and its member National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (National Societies) in this regard has traditionally been on refugees and other so-called “displaced persons” – that is, people who have been compelled to flee their place or country of origin …
Protection in the context of mixed migratory movements by sea
The ‘boat people’ crisis that erupted in the Bay of Bengal and Andaman Sea in May 2015 tragically exposed the vulnerabilities of migrants and refugees in the region. Following the initial reaction of states, which consisted of preventing boats from landing, a set of measures was adopted to put an end to the crisis and to address the issue of irregular movements by sea in the region over the long term. This article analyses the main elements of th…
