People who are #refugees or seeking #asylum have rights under int'l law to seek safety yet often need to undertake increasingly dangerous journeys. States are increasingly developing so-called ‘managed migration’ approach, but is it fit for purpose? See www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/crisp/

States increasingly rely on bureaucratic measures to obstruct search & rescue. This threatens humanitarian efforts, contravenes international obligations & places greater burdens on commercial shipping. Read: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/tilley/ #Migration #SAR #HumanRights

On the Ocean Viking, rescue is just the beginning. IFRC’s protection teams deliver safety, dignity & support-from trauma care to family reconnection. A powerful case study in survivor-centred humanitarian action. Read the article: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/moro-cortesespasa/ #Migration

The Pylos shipwreck should never have happened. But this piece about the identification of recovered victims is interesting. One of many informative texts in this issue of @fmreview.bsky.social.

Restrictive migration policies have made Europe’s mountainous alpine borders even more perilous for migrants crossing them, but a distinctive citizen-led approach to rescue in the Hautes-Alpes is helping reduce risks Read Elisa Sisto in @fmreview.bsky.social‬

MSF forest-based medical response at the #Belarus – #Poland border shows how flexible, civil society-supported care can save lives in hostile terrain & data collection can inform advocacy. Read the article: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/zadykowicz-et-al/ #MSF #Migration #HumanRights

Italy’s 2023 Piantedosi Decree is reshaping rescue in the Central Mediterranean - criminalising humanitarian crews, delaying disembarkation and risking lives. @eleanorbpaynter.net explores in FMR75: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/paynter/ #SAR #Migration #Migrants @sos-humanity.bsky.social

Latin American & Caribbean countries approved an update to the #CartagenaProcess, a regional framework for #refugee protection. But this new agreement lacks concrete cooperation measures to address dangerous journeys. Read www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/rodrigues-silva/ #DarienGap #Migration

For #WorldRefugeeDay tomorrow, we invite you to read our most recent special feature on 'Dangerous journeys: Saving lives & responding to missing migrants and refugees’ as well as our catalogue of past issues. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/ #WithRefugees #RefugeeRights

The dangerous #migration routes through Latin America to the US is fraught w/risks, esp. for women. This article follows Cameroonian women, the risks they faced, the support they received from local communities & gender-sensitive safety strategies. See www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/ngang/

The #RabatProcess provides a space for policymakers & practitioners to share knowledge & address #migration challenges & led to the creation of the Network of National Focal Points for #MissingMigrants. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/rothlisberger-saho-vonkonig/ #Migrants #Gambia

With stricter controls on other routes increasing since 2015, routes through the Alps have increased. Assistance from local groups, volunteers & medical professionals has evolved into 3 approaches to saving lives & assisting #migrants & #refugees. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/sisto/

In recent years, there's been an increase in people from the Middle East travelling to Central or South America and then onto the US–Mexico border, as the routes in Europe become more prohibitive. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/oliaei/ #Migration #Refugees #Displacement #AcademicSky

#Rohingya #refugees endure some of the most dangerous conditions while seeking safety. Better coordination between state & regional entities w/local actors & civil society groups could help improve conditions for them. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/vernon-mohammadi-putra/ #Migration

Are you a practitioner, policy-maker or other professional working on #refugee protection? Our Online School in Forced Migration offers an opportunity to step back & reflect critically on the work you do, guided by leading academics from the University of Oxford. 🔗 www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/study/intern...

From 2016 to 2018, @icrc.org, South Africa conducted the Missing & Deceased #Migrants Program to help identify & reduce the number of missing #migrants in the Southern Africa region. Read: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/evert-fonseca-rossouw/ #MissingMigrants #Migration

Not knowing the fate of relatives who may have died or gone missing on dangerous journeys can have profound consequences for family members, especially if they are displaced too. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/liddell-archer-batch-stockwell/ #MHPSS #Refugees #Migrants #MentalHealth

Commercial ships, like all vessels, have a duty under international law to rescue persons in distress at sea, incl. #migrants & #refugees. Could the commercial shipping industry be better engaged to support sea rescues and, if so, how? See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/mamiya-abusada/

Fuelled by social media, a new market in '#migration packages' is reshaping how people move north through the Americas. This commodification creates unequal journeys, with those with the fewest resources facing the harshest risks. See: www.fmreview.org/dangerous-journeys/hernandez-ibarra/
