Synopsis
In the West it is still common to think that full-scale war and the destruction of homelands effectively ended in 1945. Yet with ethnic and territorial disputes still common in many parts of the world - most recently in Yugoslavia - the refugee problem is graver than at any time in history. The United Nations' research teams attempt to analyze the degree of suffering with this survey of refugees across the globe. It is a record of despair that lies behind the nightly new headlines from Bosnia, Mogadishu, Chad, Azerbaijan and countless other troubled areas of the world.

The State of the World s Refugees 1993. The Challenge of Protection
Seller: Antiquariat Knacke, Berlin, Germany
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Sprache: Deutsch Broschur gr. 8;; 191 Seiten; Tabellen; Diagramme; Bibliotheksstempel auf Rückseite Haupttitel, etikettiert; - By 1993, 18.2 million men, women, and children across the world had left their homelands to escape persecution and violence. An average of 10,000 refugees a day were forced to flee the year before, as new upheavals forced out new victims. At least another 24 million were displaced within their own countries. Yet despite these staggering numbers and the backlash they have provoked in overburdened countries of asylum, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees believes there is a solution to the international refugee crisis. This important and timely book illuminates current problems and their causes with informed analysis, detailed charts, graphs, and maps, and discussions of policy alternatives. It voices an urgent plea that doors be kept open for those in need of asylum. It is also an eloquent appeal for early intervention by the international community, whose peacemaking efforts could prevent further crises before they start, and could enable millions of refugees to return safely to their homes once again. - - -.
