Book Synopsis Kurdish Refugee Relief and Other Humanitarian Aid Issues in Iraq by : Lois McHugh
Download or read book Kurdish Refugee Relief and Other Humanitarian Aid Issues in Iraq written by Lois McHugh and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 15 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “CRS Issue Brief” describes conditions in the region of northern Iraq in April 1991, the US and international response to the plight of the Kurds, and the short and long-term policy issues that the US Congress may consider in that regard. The report begins with a review of the short-term actions taken by the United States to help the Kurds and the background to this assistance in terms of international assistance. The brief then describes the status of refugees in and from Iraq as of September 20, 1991, including regions in the north and south of Iraq. Mention is also made of the conditions elsewhere in Iraq, especially the damage to the Iraqi infrastructure and the food situation. A separate section of the brief reviews the international activities in Iraq, with specific figures showing requests for international humanitarian assistance by the United Nations and the Red Cross. US assistance up until September 20, 1991 is presented, in terms of the programmes funded, the amounts and the dates. Additional information on US assistance includes requests for additional aid and Congressional action, the role of the US military, and Operation Safe Haven. The last part of the brief analyses the long-term implications of the crisis for US policy and the Congress. Among the issues discussed are: funding relief and reconstruction; Iraqi reconstruction and international sanctions; the long-term security needs of the Kurds; the question of sovereignty; reorganizing UN humanitarian assistance.
Book Synopsis The Iraqi Refugees by : Joseph Sassoon
Download or read book The Iraqi Refugees written by Joseph Sassoon and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-30 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the years since the US-led invasion of Iraq, over 4 million Iraqis have been forced to flee their homes, in what amounts to one of the largest people movements in modern times, far exceeding the Palestinian outflow after 1948. Despite media reports of an improved security situation in Iraq, the majority of refugees are still not prepared to return. The social, economic, political and security consequences of the Iraq refugee crisis are huge. In this rigorous and timely book, Joseph Sassoon explores the underlying trends of Iraq's refugee flow: which class, ethnic and sectarian groups have gone - and are continuing to go - where and how. Based on extensive original research, he examines the economic impact of this exodus on Iraq itself, and on the host countries of the region: Jordan, Syria and Lebanon. He analyses international policy on the refugee issue, and assesses the options for return and resettlement. The Iraqi Refugees is both the first and the definitive guide to what will come to be seen as one of the most significant issues affecting the entire Middle East.

Book Synopsis Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons by : Rhoda Margesson
Download or read book Iraqi Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons written by Rhoda Margesson and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The humanitarian crisis many feared would take place in March 2003 as a result of the war in Iraq appears to be unfolding. It is estimated that in total (including those displaced prior to the war) there may be two million Iraqi refugees who have fled to Jordan, Syria, and other neighboring states, and approximately two million Iraqis who have been displaced within Iraq itself. This report provides an analysis of the current crisis, including the conditions for those displaced in Iraq and the refugee situations in Syria, Jordan, and elsewhere. It also provides information on the U.S. and international response and examines refugee resettlement options in the United States. Aspects of this crisis that may be of particular interest to the 110th Congress include a focus on an immediate response (providing humanitarian relief funding), examining resettlement policies, and developing a strategy to manage the displaced, particularly within Iraq. This report will be updated as events warrant. For more information on Iraq, see CRS Report RL31339, Iraq: Post-Saddam Governance and Security, Christopher M. Blanchard, Coordinator, and CRS Report RL33793, Iraq: Regional Perspectives and U.S. Policy, by Kenneth Katzman.

Download or read book Iraqi Refugees written by Agustín Sánchez and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To implement its 2008 goal and objectives for Iraqi refugees, the State primarily funded and monitored the efforts of its implementing partners, which included international organisations and non-governmental organisations (NGO). These activities provided Iraqi refugees and host country populations with vocational training, health care, food, education and financial support. However, the State did not clearly link program achievements to its started goal and objectives for Iraqi refugees. As a result, the State has had limited information to assess and report its progress in reaching its goal and objectives and improve program effectiveness. U.S. and international efforts to provide humanitarian assistance to Iraqi refugees in neighbouring countries are impeded by a lack of reliable estimates on the needs of Iraqi refugees. This book explains how the U.S. government and UNHCR face challenges in offering solutions for Iraqi refugees. In addition, this book provides an analysis of the current crisis, including an overview of the conditions for those displaced in Iraq and the refugee situations in Syria, Jordan and elsewhere. It also provides information on the U.S. and international response and examines refugee resettlement options in the United States. This book consists of public documents which have been located, gathered, combined, reformatted, and enhanced with a subject index, selectively edited and bound to provide easy access.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Amid the criticism of the UN's apparent failure to intervene in humanitarian disasters there has been little scholarly consideration of the real issues. The nature of human rights, sovereignty, UN organisation and the practice of humanitarian action are some of the themes that are addressed in this volume which combines a theoretical approach with empirical analysis from those with practical experience in the field of international humanitarian assistance."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book excerpt: The Kurds in Iraq by Kerim Yildiz, explores the key issues facing the Kurds in Iraq in the aftermath of the US-led invasion and chaos of the occupation. It is the most clear and up-to-date account of the problems that all political groups face in rebuilding the country, as well as exploring Kurdish links and international relations in the broader sense.

Book Synopsis The Modern Assyrians of the Middle East by : John Joseph
Download or read book The Modern Assyrians of the Middle East written by John Joseph and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2016-05-18 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a revised edition of the author's The Nestorians and Their Muslim Neighbors (Princeton University Press, 1961). Early in the nineteenth century, the Aramaic-speaking "Nestorian" Christians received special attention when American Protestant missions decided to educate and reform them to help meet the challenge that Islam presented to the growing missionary movements. When archaeologist Layard further publicized the historic minority as "Assyrians", the name acquired a new connotation when other forces at work in the region - religious, nationalistic, imperialistic - entangled these modern Assyrians in vagaries and manipulations in which they were outnumbered and outclassed. The study examines Western Christendom's current position on Islam, with emphasis on the Roman Catholic Church and the World Council of Churches. The revision draws on a wide variety of sources not used in the original.
Book Synopsis Understanding the UN Security Council by : Neil Fenton
Download or read book Understanding the UN Security Council written by Neil Fenton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This impressive work sheds light on the recent history of the UN Security Council (UNSC), examining how the penchant for UN-backed humanitarian intervention in the 1990s has given way to an impotent UNSC, unable to play a meaningful role in the war in Iraq. It examines the precepts that govern UNSC politics, including the sanctity of sovereign states, the norm of non-intervention and state interests. Designed for readers who are interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of the UNSC, the attitudes of its members towards the use of force and sovereignty, as well as understanding its limitations in international politics, this volume: · evaluates key issues such as the principle of consent, the use of force, intervention and sovereignty · provides a rich array of case studies to understand the challenges of consent-based peacekeeping · presents strong analytical consistency drawing on a wide variety of sources
Book Synopsis The Kurdistan Region of Iraq by : World Bank World Bank
Download or read book The Kurdistan Region of Iraq written by World Bank World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Kurdistan region of Iraq is facing an economic and humanitarian crisis as a result of the influx of Syrian refugees which began in 2012 and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in 2014. The region's population increased by 28 percent over a short period, placing strains on the local economy, host community, and access to public services. This book provides national and regional policy makers with a technical assessment of the impact and stabilization costs needed for 2015 associated with the influx of refugees and IDPs. The stabilization cost for 2015 is estimated at US$1.4 billion in additional spending above and beyond the region's budget. This estimate could significantly increase should the crisis persist longer. The study highlights how prices and unemployment have increased, and refugees and IDPs entering the labor market are pushing wages down. A surge in violence led to supply side shocks. The ISIS crisis has had a significant effect on trade of goods and services. Transportation routes were disrupted. Foreign direct investment flows have declined and operations of foreign enterprises have been adversely affected. Disruption of public investment projects have had a negative impact on the economy. Based on the World Bank estimates, economic growth contracted by 5 percentage points in the region and the poverty rate more than doubled, rising from 3.5 percent to 8.1 percent. While the government has been responsive to addressing the needs of the displaced population up until now, more resources are needed to avert this humanitarian crisis and address the needs of the displaced population in the medium- and long-term. The report is an outcome of close collaboration between a wide spectrum of World Bank experts and regional government institutions and international partners.
