The State of the World’s Refugees 2006
Tuesday 2 May 2006 by United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
Human displacement in the new millennium
The State of the World’s Refugees: Human Displacement in the New Millennium," (Oxford University Press) was launched in London by High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres and U.K. Secretary of State for International Development Hilary Benn. The book examines the changing dynamics of displacement over the past half decade. While the number of refugees – 9.2 million – is now the lowest in 25 years, it says the international system for dealing with human displacement has reached a critical juncture as it struggles with new challenges in an increasingly globalised world. These include the plight of tens of millions of internally displaced people; widespread confusion over migrants and refugees; tightened asylum policies and growing intolerance.
