Event
Migration

Oct 13, 2020 10:00 AM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Burgess COMMENTARY
During the 1980s I did a lot of consultancy work in the follow up to the ICARA initiatives. Since then there has been a massive increase in both international migration and internal displacement. Why is the trend remains stuck in the wrong direction?
Peter Burgess
Topic: What is a Migration Crisis? Description ... Join the Institute of International Humanitarian Affairs for a Zoom Speaker Event with Brian Kelly, Head of the Community Stabilization Unit for the International Organization for Migration. A migrant is a person who moves away from her or his place of usual residence, whether within a country or across an international border, temporarily or permanently, and for a variety of reasons. A country or a region facing a crisis produces increasingly complex and often large-scale migration flows and mobility patterns. These typically expose affected populations to significant vulnerabilities and generate serious and longer-term migration management challenges. The challenges can exist at home, while in transit, upon arrival at a destination, during a return process, or throughout. During this zoom, Mr. Kelly will look at the unique characteristics associated with people on the move, emphasizing protection concerns. The migration corridors linking West Africa to North Africa and Europe will be explored, the stories of some migrants who have undertaken this journey will be shared, and the humanitarian and policy implications will be discussed. About Brian Kelly: Prior to his position as the Head of the Community Stabilization Unit, based in Washington D.C., Mr. Kelly was the Regional Emergency and Post Crisis Advisor at the IOM Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific. He has been with IOM since 2000 and has worked in the Balkans, Afghanistan, Indonesia, Nepal, Iraq, Pakistan, and elsewhere. Specializing in humanitarian operations, community stabilization, peace-building, reintegration, and the coordination of relief-and-recovery programming, he helps governments, the United Nations, non-governmental organizations and the private sector support vulnerable populations and stabilize communities.
