FMR 45 Misconceptions about human trafficking in a time of crisis

Both natural and man-made crises are considered by many to be prime environments for trafficking in persons. However, the evidence for this is thin.

FMR 45 The rise of trapped populations

As border security increases and borders become less permeable, cross-border migration is becoming increasingly difficult, selective and dangerous.

FMR 45 Populations ‘trapped’ at times of crisis

A focus on those who are trapped challenges both theoretical and practical approaches to mobility and crisis, which prioritise movement.

FMR 45 The challenge of mixed migration by sea

While ‘boat people’ are often fleeing a situation of crisis, they share their mode of travel with many types of migrants.

FMR 45 Forcing migration of globalised citizens

Today’s constant flows of persons and information across frontiers mean that, when an emergency occurs, the international community feels it has to get involved not only out of solidarity but because its citizens could be in danger.

FMR 45 Aspects of crisis migration in Algeria

Movements of migrants are only partially covered by international instruments and while the Algerian authorities certainly have opportunities to protect this stream of people, no agreements (bilateral or multilateral) are in force to do so.

FMR 45 Humanitarian border management

Humanitarian border management is one of the tools that can supplement the humanitarian response for migrants caught in a crisis situation.

FMR 45 Non-citizens caught up in situations of conflict, violence and disaster

When non-citizens are caught up in humanitarian crises, they can be as vulnerable to displacement, and suffer its consequences as acutely, as citizens.

FMR 45 Questioning ‘drought displacement’: environment, politics and migration in Somalia

The role of the recent drought in producing migration cannot be understood in isolation from human practices and past and concurrent political processes.

FMR 45 Health crises and migration

Individual and collective responses to health crises contribute to an orderly public health response that most times precludes the need for large-scale displacements.

FMR 45 Rising waters, displaced lives

Although Pakistan and Colombia have relatively advanced disaster management frameworks, they were unprepared and ill-equipped to assist and protect people displaced by recent floods.

FMR 45 Mexico: from the Guiding Principles to national responsibilities on the rights of IDPs

The Mexican government needs facts and figures on internal displacement and then to mobilise national institutions to design appropriate responses.

FMR 45 Mexicans seeking political asylum

Banding together in response to a situation of this seriousness gives people strength and confidence, and provides emotional, social and – above all – legal and political support.

FMR 45 Criminal violence and displacement in Mexico

Rampant criminal violence, from direct coercion and physical threats to the erosion of the quality of life and livelihood opportunities, pushes people to move in a variety of ways.

FMR 45 Adolescence, food crisis and migration

Adolescents who migrate because of food crises face distinct risks. Specific strategies are needed to prevent and respond to this phenomenon.

FMR 45 Resettlement in the twenty-first century

Deficiencies in planning, preparation and implementation of involuntary resettlement and relocation projects have produced far more failures than successes.

FMR 45 Illegal migration in the Indian Sunderbans

It is expected that due to sea-level rises in the future many millions of Bangladeshis will flee to India, exacerbating further the ongoing disputes between India and Bangladesh.

FMR 45 Migrants on offshore islands of Bangladesh

Riverbank erosion and the consequent formation of new islands in the Bay of Bengal cause frequent changes in the shape and size of the delta, forcing the inhabitants to migrate frequently.

FMR 45 Choice and necessity: relocations in the Arctic and South Pacific

Relocation – whereby livelihoods, housing and public infrastructure are reconstructed in another location – may be the best adaptation response for communities whose current location becomes uninhabitable or is vulnerable to future climate-induced threats

FMR 45 Flight to the cities

The conditions from which most crisis migrants have fled — threats to life, health, physical safety and/or subsistence — are likely to be reproduced in some form in their urban destinations, at least in part due to their presence there.
