A sister makes an emotional case for the return of an 'ISIS bride'. Without emotion, Australian law leads to the same conclusion. Listen to @profjmcadam.bsky.social on AM: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

PNG to Panama, entire communities are relocating due to climate & disaster risk. When the Nansen Protection Agenda was endorsed in 2015, there was little guidance on 'planned relocation'.

Best wishes to Barham Salih, the new High Commissioner @unhcr.org. As he takes the reins, the challenges are profound. One in every 70 people on Earth is displaced. Recently, w/@refugeecouncilau.bsky.social, we called on govts to support UNHCR's enduring mission: www.unsw.edu.au/news/2025/12...

🌍 UNHCR marks 75 years on Sunday. With more people displaced than ever – and UNHCR facing deep funding cuts – global solidarity and support are urgently needed.

10 years ago, a "coalition of the willing" proved that progress is possible outside traditional negotiating rooms. How did this state-led process build consensus on disaster displacement? LISTEN to our new podcast with @profjmcadam.bsky.social & Walter Kaelin: tinyurl.com/44fmc95a

An AUSTRAC report found suspicion of 'corruption and money laundering' by officials in Nauru – yet these concerns did not stop the Aus govt's $2.5bn deal to deport more than 350 people there. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

The Trump Administration is deporting people to countries they have no ties to, where many are being detained indefinitely or forcibly returned to the places they fled. Sarah Stillman spoke to some of them. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

The latest post in our new Nansen Initiative +10 blog is out now! It's about how regional frameworks can drive real change for those most at risk of displacement in the context of climate change, written by @iom.int climatemobility.unsw.edu.au/blog/iom/

This is a moment to take pride in our history of moral national action – and demand more humane policies for those continuing to seek refuge here.

Well said thank you for referencing ‘lethal hopelessness’ and giving an overall excellent answer evidence based response.

The UK proposed changes do not work and only make it worse for asylum seekers fleeing persecution.

WATCH: The UK plans for refugee protection will harm people without achieving the govt's stated goals, according to the #auspol evidence, says @danghez.bsky.social on ABC News24. youtu.be/d-6TCgMWgX8?... via @YouTube

' ... the problem is not refugee law, it is the cynical, timeworn deployment of xenophobic and racist rhetoric to create fear and undermine democratic institutions' writes Kate Jastram @cgrsasylum.bsky.social in response to recent 'reform' proposals cgrs.uclawsf.edu/en/our-work/...

For Dor Akech Achiek, the journey into refugee advocacy is inseparable from his own story.

President Trump is expected to lower the ceiling on refugee admissions to 7,500, a drastic decrease from the cap of 125,000 set by the Biden administration last year, according to a presidential determination dated Sept. 30 and signed by Mr. Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/u...

Immigration attorneys have reported small but sharply rising numbers of U.S. citizens seeking asylum in Canada, the UK, Ireland and other European countries. Add Australia to the list. New @australia.theguardian.com story with input from @danghez.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Without a shift in policy, the dominant trajectory of technology in immigration will continue to be digital surveillance. It doesn't have to be that way. Very glad to talk about our global research on technology and alternatives to detention on @techpolicypress.bsky.social.
