Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Newsletter

The Fahamu Refugee Legal Aid Newsletter is a monthly electronic publication that provides news, reflection, and learning on the provision of refugee legal aid. It is aimed primarily to be a resource for legal aid providers in the Global South where law journals and other resources are hard to access. It complements the information portal, http://www.frlan.org. The newsletter follows recent developments in the interpretation of refugee law; case law precedents from different constituencies; reports and helpful resources for refugee legal aid providers; and stories of struggle and success in refugee legal aid work.

UNHCR network links resettled refugees and allows them to advocate for important issues

The Worldwide Community of Resettled Refugees, created by UNHCR in collaboration with the University of Geneva, is a network which can be used by resettled refugees to advise those who are resettling; be a voice of the resettled refugee community; help advocate for important issues affecting resettled refugees, and serve as a member of a unique group that UNHCR will consult with on resettlement and other important issues. Any refugee or former refugee who has resettled in a third country is welcome to register to join this online community, regardless of when they were resettled.


More resources on witchcraft accusations and asylum

In our October issue, we published a piece citing several links to information on asylum for victims of witchcraft accusations. Another useful resource on this topic can be found on the Forced Migration Current Awareness Blog, a service highlighting web research and information relating to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and other forced migrants, provided by Elisa Mason.
