Publications

“We hope this volume will encourage a recognition of the breadth of the anthropological vision of refuge, and an application of that breadth to both the enduring and new barriers that are created against refuge—whether for people meeting formal legal standards of being refugees or for those many others for whom only durable refuge can bring a viable and meaningful human future.” Maintaining Refuge: Anthropological Reflections in Uncertain Times. ed. David Haines, Jayne Howell, Fethi Keles. A publication of the Committee for Refugees and Immigrants, the Society for Urban, National, and Transnational/Global Anthropology, and the American Anthropological Association. 2017.

“Detention can take various forms, but what are the actual costs of depriving individuals of their liberty? This edition of the Review focuses on a range of challenges related to maintaining human dignity in detention, including, for example, overcrowding and aging prison populations. In doing so, the Review takes stock of recent developments in detention practices and shows that detention carries costs that fall not only on detainees, but also on their families and the community at large. It draws attention to the challenges associated with detention to seek and promote the human dignity of detainees.” Detention: Addressing the Human Cost. ed. Vincent Bernard. February 2018.

“[This] paper offers a conceptual framework for analyzing return migration, both forced and voluntary, and developing appropriate policies to ensure that human rights are protected through the process. It identifies a continuum of types of return based on the time of return and the decision to return. These are: “return of achievement,” “return of completion,” “return of setback,” and “return of crisis (forced return).” The paper recommends particular return and reintegration policies which would benefit migrants and their communities of origin. It urges the member states negotiating the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration to not treat return as “an act that simply concludes migration,” but one that requires effective policies to protect and ensure the well-being of migrants, to facilitate their reintegration, and to maximize their contributions.” Return Migration: A Conceptual and Policy Framework. Scalabrini Migration Study Centers. March 2018.

In the present report, prepared pursuant to General Assembly resolutions 66/164 and 68/181 and Human Rights Council resolutions 16/5 and 25/18, the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders, Michel Forst, reviews the overall situation of persons acting to defend the rights of all people on the move. The Special Rapporteur aims to draw attention to the difficult situation of those who act in solidarity with people on the move and who seek to promote and to strive for the protection of their rights. He calls upon all States and other actors to protect and promote the rights of defenders of people on the move and to address the challenges that they face.” Report of the Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights defenders. UN General Assembly Human Rights Council. 16 January 2018.

“As Nigeria approaches its national elections in early 2019, political priorities are accelerating plans to return displaced civilians to areas in Northeast Nigerian once held by the extremist group Boko Haram. Refugees International (RI) details the current conditions in the new report, Political Pressure to Return: Putting Northeast Nigeria’s Displaced Citizens at Risk, and outlines the risks in pushing displaced Nigerians to return before secure and sustainable conditions exist.” Political Pressure to Return: Putting Northeast Nigeria’s Displaced Citizens at Risk. Alexandra Lamarche and Mark Yarnell. March 2018.

“Between March and July 2017, close to 35,000 Congolese refugees fled atrocities in the Kasai region and sought safety in Angola. While the Angolan government has offered many safety from militia and army attacks in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), its treatment of those who have fled is troubling. IRRI's new policy paper - based on interviews in October 2017 with 45 Congolese refugees in Lunda Norte province in Angola - describes how unregistered refugees in Angola are living with serious restrictions on their freedom of movement, the ongoing threat of premature return and the risk of harassment, corruption and arbitrary detention.” Movement Restricted: Congolese refugees in Angola. Rights in Exile Series, International Refugee Rights Initiative. March 2018.

“The EU-Turkey Statement of March 20, 2016, was a turning point in Europe’s crisis over refugees. Under the deal, Turkey would prevent boats leaving its shores for Greece, while Athens would return arriving migrants to Turkey. In exchange, the E.U. would increase funding and resettlement for refugees in Turkey, along with other political sweeteners. Very little of the deal’s original provisions have been implemented, but the number of boats did drop drastically (while continuing to fluctuate, just as the journey continues to be deadly). Coming after 1 million people arrived in Europe in 2015, E.U. policymakers continue to defend the deal as a major success. At the same time, human rights groups say many of their warnings about the agreement have been realized: Refugees are warehoused in dire conditions on the Greek islands while Turkey threatens a new surge in refugee boats to ward off criticism about its human rights situation. On the second anniversary of its signing, we asked experts from Turkey, Greece and Germany weigh in on the agreement’s impact on refugees and on Europe.” Expert Views: The E.U.-Turkey Deal After Two Years. Charlotte Alfred and Daniel Howden. Refugees Deeply.

“The EU's refugee agreement with Turkey has been in force for two years. It was signed on March 18, 2016, in an attempt to solve one of Europe's most pressing problems: the enormous influx of refugees. While Syrian refugees were looking for safe countries where they and their families could live, EU-Turkey relations were placed under a huge strain. What happened in the second year of the agreement?” The EU-Turkey refugee agreement: A review. Deutsche Welle. March 2018.

“An agreement between the European Union and Turkey that came into force two years ago on March 20 2016, has reduced the number of migrants arriving on the shores of Greek islands and, however precariously, salvaged the integrity of the Schengen visa system. But while the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan was justified as a measure that would reduce deaths at sea and protect human dignity, the dramatic increase in the death rate of those crossing the Mediterranean in 2016 and deteriorating conditions for migrants in Turkey and Greece expose a reality at odds with that rhetoric. Instead, the plan reflects the philosophy that has long informed the EU’s migration policy: containment.” Refugees out of sight, out of mind two years on from EU-Turkey deal. Katy Budge. The Conversation. March 2018.

“On 15 March 2018, the European Court of Human Rights ruled in case A.E.A. v. Greece (application no. 39034/12) and found that Greece had violated the human rights of a Sudanese national who was unable to apply for asylum in Greece from 2009 to 2012 due to the systemic deficiencies of the Greek asylum system at the time...The applicant had also claimed that, because of his difficulties in lodging an asylum application, he had to live in destitution and that he had not received a work permit after lodging his application, amounting to a violation of Article 3 ECHR. The Court did not agree with the applicant since he had not sought the Ministry of Social Solidarity to request for material assistance or to be placed in a reception facility. Therefore, the ECtHR concluded that the applicant had not sufficiently substantiated his complaint under Article 3 ECHR and declared it inadmissible.” European Court of Human Rights: lack of access to the asylum procedure from 2009 to 2012 in Greece violated the applicant’s fundamental rights. ECRE. March 2018.

“Over these two years, Human Rights Watch has gathered hundreds of statements from victims describing the misery of their indefinite confinement. Some of their stories, combined with photos and videos, are featured in “Trapped: Asylum Seekers in Greece.” Here, we take viewers on a journey of the islands through the eyes of asylum-seekers – you see into their lives, their overcrowded and sagging tents, and psychological distress.” Trapped: Asylum Seekers in Greece. Emina Ćerimović. Human Rights Watch. March 2018.

“The European Union is currently crossing its fingers and hoping that that these regions will stabilize, or that border management will be sufficient to prevent a new influx. But a more robust approach is needed. Overall, the EU-Turkey deal is an odd template for success. From the deal’s inception, the focus of policymakers was on handling the Turkish government. But if there has been a weakness in the functioning of the deal, it has been on the Greek side, largely because of the need to assess large numbers of asylum applications… It has taken two years for much of the machinery to be up and running, processing times are still very long, and just 2,164 people have been returned to Turkey under the deal in the past two years—a tiny increase in the rate of returns from 2015. Conditions for those left on the Greek islands remain poor. But the picture is not all grim. In broad headline terms, the EU-Turkey deal has endured. Flows into Europe have remained low. The total number of people landing in Greece has never exceeded 5,000 in any one month since the deal was signed; in October 2015 there were 197,000 arrivals...The European Union needs more of this if it is to avoid the age-old pitfall of policymaking—always fixing the previous problem.” Turkey-Style Deals Will Not Solve the Next EU Migration Crisis. Elizabeth Collett. Migration Policy Institute. March 2018.

“Two years have passed since the EU and Turkey sealed a ‘deal’ to halt large-scale migration to Europe. As numbers remained low, the public eye tended to turn to other theatres. New developments, however, call for a fresh look at the ‘EU-Turkey deal’, from controversies about the accession process to Ankara’s military involvement in Syria. This blog post takes stock of the costly failure of the refugees swapping mechanism and the success of the aid package, and analyses perspectives for progress concerning the EU-Turkey Statement’s unfulfilled promises: a reform of the Customs Union, visa liberalisation and large-scale resettlement. In total, the practical result looks quite traditional: EU cash in return for border control.” Two years into the EU-Turkey ‘deal’ – taking stock. Marie Walter-Franke. Jacques Delors Institute. March 2018.

“Two years ago the European Union and its member States failed thousands of people and compromised the very concept of asylum when they agreed and implemented the EU-Turkey deal, which allows the EU to return refugees and migrants arriving on the Greek islands to Turkey, says Konstantinos Antonopoulos, Policy and Advocacy Adviser for MSF UK. ’Since then, Médecins Sans Frontières’ medical teams on the Greek islands have witnessed daily the misery and desperation created by this deal. Thousands of men, women, and children from countries such as Syria, Iraq, and Afghanistan continue to arrive on the Greek islands, seeking safety from war and violence. The EU and Greek authorities’ policies trap them there, often for months, as they wait for their claims to be processed. These are the people who pay the real cost of this dirty deal, says Antonopoulos.’”’ Two years on, EU-Turkey deal creates misery and desperation for those stuck on Greek Islands. Médecins Sans Frontières. March 2018.

“The European Agenda on Migration continues to provide a comprehensive framework for the EU's work on migration. Action is being taken forward on all the key work strands of the Agenda but the migratory challenge and pressure remains very high, bearing in mind the geopolitical fragility and long term demographic and socio-economic trends in Europe's neighbourhood and beyond. This report provides an overview of progress and developments on all work strands, including the protection of children, since the Commission's last report in November 2017. It also takes stock of progress made in line with the Commission's roadmap to reach a deal by June 2018 on the comprehensive migration package presented to the EU Leaders' Meeting in December 2017.” Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the European Council and the Council: Progress Report on the Implementation of the European Agenda on Migration. European Commission. March 2018.

“The last few weeks have seen an encouraging surge in the opposition to the government’s decision to deport asylum seekers from Sudan and Eritrea who have been living in Israel for over a decade. It is obvious to all members of the medical community – who meet asylum seekers in the most difficult physical and mental conditions, be it in the open clinic of Physicians for Human Rights Israel (PHRI) or in hospitals throughout the country – that the decision to deport them will deal a harsh blow to those whose mental and physical wounds have only just begun to heal. It is just as obvious that as healthcare professionals, we are all bound by our oath to protect our patients...The position paper Deporting Asylum Seekers as an Ethical Challenge to the Medical Profession deals precisely with this question: What is a physician’s obligation towards her or his patients from among the asylum seekers? Indeed, what is the unique role of the Ministry of Health given a government policy hostile to the undocumented persons living among us? Can a physician play a role in such a policy?” The Deportation of Asylum Seekers as an Ethical Challenge for the Medical Profession. Physicians for Human Rights. February 2018.

The United Kingdom Home Office released three new Country Policy and Information Notes in March 2018. These notes provide “country of origin information (COI) and policy guidance to Home Office decision makers on handling particular types of protection and human rights claims. This includes whether claims are likely to justify the granting of asylum, humanitarian protection or discretionary leave and whether – in the event of a claim being refused – it is likely to be certifiable as “clearly unfounded” under s94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002.” China: Background information, including actors of protection and internal relocation; Iran: Christians and Christian converts; and Jamaica: Background information, including actors of protection, and internal relocation. United Kingdom Home Office. March 2018.

Amnesiac Revan *speaking to Carth and Mission*: Bastila's coming... I'm disappearing for a while. Otherwise, I will listen to a lecture on one of the three topics

Mission: What topics?

Amnesiac Revan: Dangers of the Dark Side. Consequences of falling to the Dark Side. Once upon a time there were two young jedi knights called Revan and Malak, who fell to the Dark Side afterwards...

Bastila *whose voice is getting closer and closer*: Alex*, are you familiar with a term 'responsibility'?

Amnesiac Revan *completely being ready to use the Force to slip away*: This is not a new topic, either...

*Alexandra Forst is a name of 'my' amnesiac Revan.

Revan: If you don't remember who you really are or don't want to admit it, how can you fix your mistakes made in the past properly, hmmm?

I devote it to one episode in the game. After crashing on Lehon there's a conversation with all the crew members. Jolee namess the main character Revan while talking about Bastila, and there are two possible options in reply:

1) Don't call me that! I'm not Revan anymore.

2) If Bastila joined Malak, then she'll suffer the same fate he does.

They are both absolutely wrong for my Revan. At this stage, she admits she is Revan, not that false identity. But she has no intention to talk about Bastila (and Malak too, I guess) like that either! Personally, I think it would be a little bit unhealthy for Revan to deny her true identity at that time.

P.S. Despite that, this is literally my favourite computer game. I find it inspirational, fascinating, exciting and almost ideal! Funny fact: I was inspired to write fics and learn English thanks to that game! 20th anniversary... OMG! Yeah, I'm rather old, can't believe it!:D Ha, my favourite moment from the game is still Revelation. I've recently played the game and somehow was shocked when Darth Malak appeared in front of you on the Leviathan at the time when freedom became to seem real (and the whole discussion is something)!

#kotor i love you!#happy 20th birthday!#happy birthday to revan and the others!#and to alexandra forst - my version of the false revan's identity!#2023!#what a shock!#so many years passed by...#nostalgia #kotor #knights of the old republic #kotor 1 #revan #f!revan #female revan #star wars #silly thoughts #incorrect kotor quotes #i mentioned that moment in comments before

I was tagged by @marythegizka and tried to do experiments with my image of Revan using picrew . Thank you sm!:) Actually, this lady was meant to be Revan before the Mandalorian War but ended up with being Alexandra Forst, a smuggler and pseudo-space explorer, though. She mostly looks pretty annoyed, sceptical, serious or even disappoined, as she's not crazy about the idea of getting caught up in searching for Star Maps and standing against the Sith and Darth Malak at all. And, the last but not the least, she doesn't fancy having to be led up by Bastila as well. I have no idea why she has such big ears, only a guess that it may've happened because sha has to hear some bullshit said by Jedi masters and Bastila at times.

Tagging @for-the-love-of-starwars @yaninab @theowlhousefanboy (if it's interesting for you) and those who'd like to give it a try.:)

P.S. A girl with short hair could be Revan during the war and she might have braids before the war... I'm not sure, though.
