Flere av de politiske partiene på Stortinget ønsker i hovedsak å hjelpe flyktninger i «nærområdene» 🌍 Men hva vil det egentlig si? @myrmek.bsky.social mener Norge må kunne ha to tanker i hodet samtidig: Støtte opp om «nærområdene», samt verne om retten til å søke om asyl. Les hele saken her:

Over the past four years, the BEYOND project has conducted empirical case studies in Lebanon, Pakistan, Türkiye and Bangladesh, examining their relationships with international refugee law. Explore our map to see which states that remain non-signatories to the 1951 Refugee Convention 🔍

The map provides an overview of UN member and observer states that have not signed the 1951 Convention nor the 1967 Protocol. The figure indicates that the majority of these non-signatory states are in the Middle East and South Asia.

Despite the images of people joyously crossing Syria’s borders after al-Assad’s ouster, in addition to some countries pausing the asylum requests of Syrian refugees, questions remain about whether it is feasible – or safe – for most people to return.

buff.ly

Syrians begin to return to destroyed homes. Will others follow?

With entire neighbourhoods razed to the ground, are mass returns to Syria feasible?

To all the analysts jumping on here to warn about tomorrow, Syrians are ten steps ahead of you. Have some basic human empathy and let those celebrating the release of the unjustly detained, the reuniting of families, the hopes of return, and the end of a brutal regime do so in peace.
