Partnerships in the protection of refugees and other people at risk: emerging issues and work in progress

Within the UN system, interagency and agency discussions are occupied with the task of integrating human rights and protection into other activities. Among NGOs, too, agencies are examining the desirability of taking a more human rights-based approach to aid work.

Issues are being processed both in ongoing workshop series and in individual gatherings. An increasingly large complement of training events and materials is available. Research groups are assisting in the review of recent experience and recommending improved approaches.
