About us
The Refugee Law Initiative is the only academic centre in the UK to concentrate specifically on international refugee law. As a national focal point for leading and promoting research in this field, the Refugee Law Initiative (RLI) works to integrate the shared interests of refugee law scholars and practitioners, stimulate collaboration between academics and non-academics, and achieve policy impact at the national and international level. The RLI has a number of academic, teaching and support Staff and regularly hosts Visiting Fellows from other institutions. The RLI also facilitates networks of Senior Research Associates and Research Affiliates that include many of the leading thinkers on refugee law and forced migration. These networks are integral to the work of the RLI and allow for collaboration across a range of disciplines. The RLI also hosts the Internal Displacement Research Programme (IDRP). This specialised programme carries out a similar range of research and policy activities specifically in relation to internal displacement.

Today, the ICJ enters week two of its consequential hearings on #ClimateChange in the Hague. 🇺🇳 My take below on how international law – well beyond the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement – must be interpreted to provide guidance on human mobility in the context of climate change, both to support people on the move, as well as to support people to stay, build resilience, and adapt to climate impacts. 🪴 International Institute for Sustainable Development Maxine Marcus Maxine Burkett Sébastien Duyck Prof. Dr. Christina Voigt Cymie Payne Kevin Chand Veronika Fikfak Evelyn Campos Sanchez Marek Szilvasi Andrew Harper Kate Jastram Harj Narulla Steven Miron Jocelyn Perry Paul Roughan Margaretha Wewerinke-Singh Julian Arato Melissa Stewart Philipp Offenberg Nienke Grossman Fernando Lusa Bordin Rudi Navarra Stewart Maginnis Tafadzwa Pasipanodya Ileana Sinziana Puscas Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change

Refugee Law Initiative reposted this
For anyone who missed this earlier in the week: our new article in Nature unpicks the far-reaching health consequences of neglecting the crisis of internal displacement in conflicts such as Sudan, Gaza, Ukraine, Ethiopia... and what we need to do to better respond
"HEALTH OF PEOPLE WHO ARE DISPLACED IN THEIR OWN COUNTRIES IS A NEGLECTED GLOBAL CRISIS" - new comment article in NATURE journal published today with my colleagues Bayard Roberts and Jina Swartz MD, PhD, MScMed(Neuro), MFPM(Dis), FMedSci: https://lnkd.in/eNFfD8aF Compared with cross-border refugees, people who are internally displaced receive little attention — despite their dire health needs. Moreover, between 2010 and 2019, international aid for health care for internally displaced people fell from an annual amount of US$5.34 to $3.72 per capita. Several initiatives have begun to address the problem. To lessen severe inequity and prevent epidemics and pandemics, the international community must build on this momentum and ensure that much more attention and resources are directed towards the needs — particularly the health needs —of internally displaced people.
