Vol. 63 No. 2 (2024): Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin (QRP)
The cover of volume 63, issue 2, of the Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin (QRP)

Issue 2/2024 of the Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin (QRP) covers a wide range of topics. While Roßkopf introduces to the cornerstones of the newly adopted EU Pact on Migration and Asylum in the News & Notes, his editorial highlights an unfolding shift of the European reform discourse from management to prevention and further extraterritorialisation. Europe is also the scope for a review of the case-law of the CJEU and ECtHR on COVID-19 related emergency measures and their compliance or non-compliance with fundamental human rights by Friedery and Kecskés. Huth-Hildebrandt, Al'Ali and Al-Madi shed light on often neglected 'random camps' analysing educational needs and deprivation of minor Syrian refugee inhabitants in Jordan. Another situation of protracted displacement is covered by Bibi critically investigating repatriation measures taken by Pakistan against Afghan refugees to put a forceful end to it. Finally, Barbo and Jeeroburkhan review studies on programs with an aim to navigate diet and nutrition of newcomer populations from a Canadian perspective.
