Following a difficult and protracted process, in 2014 the UNGA adopted Resolution 68/268 which set out to strengthen the UN human rights treaty body system.

Gender, violence and vulnerability: Examining the politics of protection in the current refugee 'crisis'

Examining the ways in which gender has been used as a category of analysis in the current refugee 'crisis', and whether in effect international organisations, NGOs, and EU governments have really offered any protection to victims of gender violence

Local communities: first and last providers of protection (Forced Migration Review 53)

FMR 53 - Effective community-based protection programming: lessons from the Democratic Republic of Congo

Oxfam’s work with local communities in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo has prompted the organisation to develop guidance for themselves and for others working in similar situations.

FMR 53 - Filling the funding gap for community protection

An initiative to help local communities build resilience against violent extremism may offer useful lessons in how to help local communities access funding to support their self-protection efforts.

Thinking ahead: displacement, transition, solutions (Forced Migration Review 52)

Journey of a Molecular Detective; David Sherratt

An afternoon on Syrian displacement, and protection in Europe (Part 2)

This event marked the launch of the RSC Policy Briefing 'Protection in Europe for refugees from Syria' and Forced Migration Review issue 47 on 'The Syria crisis, displacement and protection'

The Syria crisis (Forced Migration Review 47)

FMR 47 Mobility as a solution

Not all those who have gone to Syria's neighbours are registered, nor do all of these people regard themselves as refugees

FMR 47 How the crisis is altering women’s roles in Syria

The significance of women as both distributors and recipients has been pivotal to the implementation of humanitarian assistance but also points to the burgeoning of a new social dynamic that has come about as a result of the upheaval caused by the war.

FMR 47 The inside story: internal displacement in Syria

With IDPs currently constituting two-thirds of those uprooted by the conflict, the ‘inside story’ of displacement in Syria requires much greater attention.

FMR 47 The mental health of Syrian refugee children and adolescents

Mental health services can be key to restoring basic psychological functioning and to supporting resilience and positive coping strategies for children, adolescents and adults.

FMR 47 The vulnerability of Palestinian refugees from Syria

While Syrian nationals may eventually return to their home country, the future for Palestinians from Syria is increasingly uncertain. Meanwhile they are more vulnerable, and treated worse, than most other refugees from the Syrian conflict.

FMR 47 The impact of displacement on disabled, injured and older Syrian refugees

In contexts of displacement it is critical to recognise that some groups in the population may require specific attention. Awareness of these needs has major consequences for the types of services required, and the way they are delivered.

FMR 47 Gender, conscription and protection, and the war in Syria

The struggles endured by men who remain inside Syria and the obstacles faced by others who choose to remove themselves from the fighting by fleeing the country demonstrate a need to redefine classic conceptions of vulnerability.

FMR 47 If Israel accepted Syrian refugees and IDPs in the Golan Heights

Could re-opening the Golan Heights to Syrians displaced by the conflict be a beneficial option for those fleeing the Syrian conflict and for Israel’s relations with its north-eastern neighbour?

FMR 47 For beneficiary-led protection programming in Jordan

Despite the humanitarian community’s clear focus on addressing the protection concerns of displaced Syrians, in Jordan the beneficiaries of many protection programmes have had limited influence on the shape of the protection response to date.

FMR 47 A duty and a burden on Jordan

It is important to Jordan both that it protects its national identity and maintains its cultural obligations, and that it faces up to its humanitarian obligations.

FMR 47 Protection challenges of mobility

It is easy to say that people fleeing Syria should stay in camps or satellite cities but people move on for a variety of reasons, and programmes and services must adapt to assist them.

FMR 47 Refugee by association

Many Syrians, even when they have not been individually singled out, meet the refugee criteria on the grounds of being at risk of persecution because of a perceived association, in the broadest sense, with one of the parties to the conflict.

FMR 47 Limited legal status for refugees from Syria in Lebanon

Having limited legal status has direct negative consequences for Syrian refugees’ access to protection and assistance during their stay in Lebanon. Limited legal status also increases the risks of abuse and exploitation.

FMR 47 Coping strategies among self-settled Syrians in Lebanon

Refugees in Lebanon prefer living outside camps, where they can influence their situation.
