Issue 1-3 of Volume 65, of the Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin - has been published:

The editorial by Roßkopf flags current developments and impacts of persistent refugee crises. These developments are framed by a historical reflection by Friedery and Frey related to the development of refugee protection and law and the call for amendments to remain relevant in light of climate-induced displacement by Swarna and Hasan on the one hand  as well as Abdillahi on the other. Focusing on the actual implementation of protection are Mudogo, Barasa, Okoth, and Michieka with respect to English language trainings in refugee camp settings; Hagues, Cecil, Kanylaki, and Perekotiy related to refugee populations in Greece; and Arafil with reference to the role of humanitarian actors in Lebanon.
