Call for Papers: International Review of the Red Cross – Displacement
The International Review of the Red Cross invites articles on “Displacement” for its upcoming thematic issue in September 2009. What is the impact of international migration? How can the Red Cross, and particularly the national societies, respond to the humanitarian needs? The Council of Delegates of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement recognized, already in 1991, that “new forms of movements of persons, due principally to economic and social hardship, frequently leading to severe malnutrition and famine conditions, and often associated with political instability, have emerged, and that these persons, while not fulfilling the international criteria for refugee status, are in need of humanitarian support.
Possible topics:
- Reasons for displacement and different types of migrants (sociological)
- Illegal immigrants (legal)
- Climate refugees (legal)
- Internally displaced persons (legal)
- Terrorism and non-refoulement (legal)
- Settlement and integration of migrants (sociological)
- Role of National Societies in migration (humanitarian)
The deadline to submit articles is 30 April 2009.
