Return to what? Reimagining home and belonging after conflict and refugee status cessation among Liberians in Nigeria
(Taylor & Francis, 2026-04-15) Durodola, Tosin S.
This study examines how displaced persons conceptualise home and evaluate the possibility of return after the cessation of refugee status and the narrowing of mobility options. Drawing on fieldwork with first-generation Liberians in the defunct Oru Refugee Camp in south-west Nigeria, it analyses how shared histories of violence, prolonged exile, and the withdrawal of legal protection shape return decisions long after the formal end of conflict. Although the international refugee system promotes repatriation as the preferred durable solution, Liberia is no longer considered by many interlocutors as a viable future homeland following the termination of their refugee protection. Home is sustained through everyday social life in exile, while return is assessed through comparative and forward-looking judgements about safety, trust, and the durability of peace within a defunct camp environment characterised by long-term social continuity alongside legal and political precarity. This paper demonstrates that the loss of refugee status, when combined with decades of camp-based exile, recasts return from a presumed resolution into a strategic and frequently rejected outcome, providing a lens for understanding mobility decisions in other post-cessation settings where protection ends without secure pathways to belonging.

Mental health impacts of climate migration: Urban adaptation and mitigation challenges in Southwestern Bangladesh
(Elsevier, 2026-03-28) Parvez, Khondoker Mahmud; Hasan, Rabita; Rushdi, Ibrahim Mahmud
This study explores the mental health impacts of climate migration in Khulna City, focusing on the urban adaptation and mitigation challenges faced by migrants. As climate-induced environmental changes like salinity intrusion, riverbank erosion, and flooding increasingly affect rural areas of southwestern Bangladesh, large numbers of people are migrating to urban centers in search of safety and stability. The study employs qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with 100 climate migrants in Khulna. The findings reveal significant psychosocial stress among migrants, manifesting in issues such as anxiety, depression, and ecological grief. Overcrowded living conditions, lack of green spaces, and limited social support exacerbate these mental health challenges, underscoring the need for urban adaptation policies that prioritize both physical infrastructure and psychosocial well-being. This research highlights the importance of integrating mental health services into urban planning to address the unique needs of climate migrants. Additionally, the study emphasizes the role of social networks and community-based support in facilitating migrants' integration and emotional recovery. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and urban planners to develop more inclusive and resilient urban strategies that address the multifaceted challenges faced by climate migrants.

The Rohingya crisis and geopolitical tensions driving the failure of humanitarian governance and legal accountability among refugees in Bangladesh
(Elsevier, 2026-05-10) Parvez, Khondoker Mahmud
The Rohingya crisis represents a protracted humanitarian and geopolitical emergency shaped by structural statelessness, constrained international accountability, and evolving forms of humanitarian governance. This study examines how these macro-level dynamics are experienced at the micro level through a qualitative investigation of 100 Rohingya refugees residing in camps in Cox's Bazar District, Bangladesh. Adopting an interpretive research design and a geopsychiatric analytical lens, the study explores the intersection of displacement, identity, governance, and psychosocial well-being. The findings reveal that trauma among Rohingya refugees is not limited to past experiences of violence but is continuously reproduced through conditions of chronic uncertainty, restricted mobility, and indefinite encampment. Humanitarian governance, while essential for survival, has evolved into a system of containment that reinforces dependency and limits agency. Statelessness emerges as a central structural and experiential condition, shaping identity fragmentation, non-belonging, and diminished self-worth. Additionally, gendered vulnerabilities intensify exposure to insecurity and psychological distress, particularly among women living under conditions of constrained mobility and protection gaps. By integrating qualitative evidence with insights from international relations and humanitarian governance, the study demonstrates how geopolitical tensions transform humanitarian response into a substitute for political resolution. The analysis contributes to geopsychiatric scholarship by highlighting how structural conditions of displacement produce sustained mental health impacts. The study argues that durable solutions require a shift from containment-based approaches to rights-oriented strategies that link humanitarian assistance with legal accountability and pathways to citizenship restoration or safe repatriation. Without addressing these structural drivers, the Rohingya crisis will remain a persistent condition of managed displacement and institutional uncertainty.

A “Distressed Class of People”: French Refugees and Mobility Control in Philadelphia, 1790s–1810
(Cambridge University Press, 2026-03-25) Maruschke, Megan
In the 1790s, hundreds of refugees arrived in Philadelphia from revolutionary Saint-Domingue. Though it is well known that the Alien Acts were promulgated at least in part in reaction to the large French presence on US soil and the threat of war with France, other barriers to entry and to remain on US soil are not often connected to the arrival and presence of French refugees. Using records of the Philadelphia courts, prison, and almshouse, this article situates the French refugee experience within the early United States’ broader kaleidoscope of restrictions on mobility, assistance, and rights to remain. For the French Black population, their race and class rendered them especially vulnerable to forms of mobility control focused on criminals and the mobile poor. Though the French were not ultimately deported for their political activities, a small number of French Black refugees convicted of theft were set on the move once again.

Implementing the Inter-agency Standing Committee Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action: A Scoping Review
(Springer, 2026-05-06) Dijkzeul, Dennis; Dempf, Sebastian; Göker, Sena; Funke, Carolin
The 2016 World Humanitarian Summit promoted the development of the Inter-Agency Standing Committee’s "Guidelines on Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in Humanitarian Action." These guidelines offer humanitarian actors practical information, enabling them to identify and respond to the needs, rights, and specific requirements of persons with disabilities, while taking their capacities into account. They outline the four “must-do” actions (MDAs) in humanitarian programming: (1) promote meaningful participation; (2) remove barriers; (3) empower persons with disabilities; support them to develop their capacities; and (4) disaggregate data for monitoring inclusion. This qualitative scoping review explores the specific role and (the degree of) impact of the "IASC Guidelines" and their MDAs on humanitarian practice. Our findings show that these guidelines bring together, build on, and reinforce earlier research. They also suggest that practical evidence of what does and does not work across humanitarian sectors and contexts is still limited. Interestingly, grey literature by humanitarian organizations pays more attention to the four MDAs than scholarly work. Greater awareness and application of the "IASC Guidelines," particularly their four MDAs, are needed for meaningful progress towards more disability inclusive humanitarian action. This article also discusses issues for further research in this respect.

Human trafficking risks in countries unaccustomed to migration: Romanian assistance providers’ experiences with conflict-affected migrants from Ukraine
(Sage Journals, 2025-11-06) Bejinariu, Alexa; Flanigan, Shawn
This article aims to enhance our understanding of social assistance providers as important sites of potential human trafficking identification, prevention, and disruption, particularly in countries newly experiencing the phenomenon of mass incoming migration. We do so by examining the experiences of Romanian NGOs and other voluntary actors in Romania providing assistance to migrants traveling from Ukraine during the early months of the Russian invasion. Drawing upon data from semistructured qualitative interviews and site visits with over 20 distinct civil society initiatives in summer 2022, we identify five themes that enhance our understanding of system capacities to address human trafficking in countries unaccustomed to migration, and discuss the implications for criminal justice. The article has implications for countries encountering migration due to regional conflicts, but also for migration related to natural disasters, climate change, and other causes.

Life in Limbo: Asylum Detention and the Environmental Conditions of Hope
(Cambridge University Press, 2026-01-28) Trautmann, Micah
Within the recent glut of philosophical work on hope, relatively little attention has been devoted to the circumstantial conditions that frustrate or accommodate hoping. In this article, I show how an individual’s spatial environment can constrain their capacity to sustain determinate hopes for the future via an extended case study: long-term refugee detention. Taking seriously refugees’ claims that a central cause of widespread hopelessness is the feeling of being in limbo, and drawing on recent work on the role of the imagination in hoping, I demonstrate how an individual’s spatial environment can limit imaginative access to the interim steps between their present circumstances and a desired future, making it difficult to see any way their hope could be realized.

Hacia viajes más seguros: experiencias de separación, desaparición o muerte de mujeres y niños migrantes
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross & Missing Persons Centre, ICRC Central Tracing Agency, 2025) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Bhardwaj, Sanjana; Robins, Simon; Stockwell, Jill; Mudaliar, Sanushka; Otieno, Damian
A medida que siguen migrando mujeres y niños de todo el mundo, muchos lo hacen en circunstancias peligrosas que los exponen a la violencia, la explotación y otros riesgos, incluido el riesgo de quedar separados, desaparecer o morir durante el viaje. A pesar de esta realidad y del reconocimiento cada vez mayor de que el género y la edad configuran muchos aspectos de la migración, hay pocos datos y análisis que traten de forma sistemática y directa cómo y por qué las mujeres y los niños migrantes quedan separados o desaparecen. Para comprender mejor y responder a esta cuestión, el Laboratorio mundial de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja sobre migración (“Laboratorio mundial sobre migración”), junto con el Centro de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja de personas desaparecidas, de la Agencia Central de Búsquedas (CICR) y 17 Sociedades Nacionales de la Cruz Roja y de la Media Luna Roja (Sociedades Nacionales), llevaron a cabo una investigación cualitativa con mujeres y niños migrantes, familias de migrantes desaparecidos e informantes clave en las Américas, África y Europa.

Vers des parcours plus sûrs: Expériences de séparation, de disparition et de décès vécues par les femmes et les enfants migrants
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross & Missing Persons Centre, ICRC Central Tracing Agency, 2025) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Bhardwaj, Sanjana; Robins, Simon; Stockwell, Jill; Mudaliar, Sanushka; Otieno, Damian
Alors que des femmes et des enfants continuent de migrer à travers le monde, beaucoup le font dans des conditions dangereuses qui les rendent vulnérables à la violence, à l’exploitation et à d’autres risques, y compris celui d’être séparés, de disparaître ou de mourir lors du parcours. Malgré cette réalité - et bien que l’on reconnaisse de plus en plus l’influence déterminante du genre et de l’âge sur de nombreux d’aspects de la migration - il existe encore peu de données et d’analyses permettant d’expliquer de manière systématique et directe comment et pourquoi les femmes et les enfants migrants se retrouvent séparés ou disparaissent. Afin de mieux comprendre ce problème et d’y répondre, le Laboratoire mondial de la Croix-Rouge et du CroissantRouge sur la migration (« Laboratoire mondial sur la migration»), en collaboration avec le Centre Croix-Rouge/Croissant-Rouge pour les personnes disparues, de l’Agence Centrale de Recherche du CICR (« Centre pour les personnes disparues ») et 17 Sociétés nationales de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge (« les Sociétés nationales ») ont entrepris des recherches qualitatives auprès de femmes et d’enfants migrants, de familles de personnes migrantes disparues et d’informateurs clés dans les Amériques, en Afrique et en Europe.

Towards Safer Journeys: Migrant women and children’s experiences of separation, going missing or dying
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross & Missing Persons Centre, ICRC Central Tracing Agency, 2025) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Bhardwaj, Sanjana; Robins, Simon; Stockwell, Jill; Mudaliar, Sanushka; Otieno, Damian
As women and children around the world continue to migrate, many do so under dangerous circumstances that render them vulnerable to violence, exploitation and other risks, including the risk of becoming separated, going missing or dying during their journeys. Despite this reality, and the growing recognition that gender and age shape many aspects of migration, there is little data and analysis that systematically and directly addresses how and why migrant women and children become separated or go missing. To better understand and respond to this issue, the Red Cross Red Crescent Global Migration Lab together with the ICRC Central Tracing Agency’s Red Cross Red Crescent Missing Persons Centre and 17 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, undertook qualitative research with migrants, primarily women and children, families of missing migrants and key informants in the Americas, Africa, and Europe. The purpose of the project was to listen to migrants’ perceptions and experiences of threats and risks related to becoming separated, going missing or dying, and to support National Societies to ensure their migration programs and humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy are informed by migrants’ voices and expertise.

Perspectivas de los migrantes: Generar confianza en la acción humanitaria
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross, 2022) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Mudaliar, Sanushka
En el contexto de la migración, la confianza en las organizaciones humanitarias es fundamental dados las vulnerabilidades y los riesgos a los que se enfrentan muchos migrantes a lo largo de sus viajes, como la ausencia de redes de apoyo comunitario, las barreras lingüísticas, la condición de irregularidad, la xenofobia y los riesgos de abusos, violencia y violaciones de su seguridad y dignidad. La confianza también es importante en el contexto de la creciente securitización de la migración y de la fusión de las políticas de control de fronteras y migración con la ayuda humanitaria. A pesar de la mayor cantidad de pruebas y la preocupación por la pérdida de confianza entre los migrantes y las organizaciones humanitarias, se sabe poco sobre en quién confían los migrantes al acceder a la protección y asistencia humanitaria y por qué; y cómo esta confianza o desconfianza influye en la capacidad y la voluntad de los migrantes de buscar ayuda en las diferentes etapas de sus viajes. Para conocer mejor las perspectivas de los migrantes con respecto a las organizaciones humanitarias y su confianza en ellas, el Laboratorio Mundial de la Migración de la Cruz Roja y la Media Luna Roja, junto con el Movimiento, realizó una investigación con migrantes de América, África, Asia-Pacífico y Europa. La razón de ser de la investigación es que, al escuchar y responder a las ideas, los temores, las dudas y las preocupaciones de los migrantes sobre su situación y la protección y asistencia humanitaria recibida, las organizaciones humanitarias pueden construir, mantener mejor y, cuando sea necesario, reparar la confianza.

Perspectives de personnes migrantes: Instaurer la confiance dans l’action humanitaire
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross, 2022) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Mudaliar, Sanushka
Dans le contexte de la migration, la confiance dans les organisations humanitaires est essentielle compte tenu des vulnérabilités et des risques auxquels de nombreuses personnes migrantes sont confrontées tout au long de leur parcours — notamment l’absence de réseaux de soutien communautaires, les barrières linguistiques, le statut d’irrégulier, la xénophobie et les risques d’abus, de violence et d’atteintes à leur sécurité et à leur dignité. La confiance est également importante dans le contexte de la sécurisation accrue de la migration et de l’amalgame entre les politiques de contrôle des frontières et de la migration et l’aide humanitaire. Pourtant, malgré les preuves et les préoccupations croissantes concernant la perte de confiance entre les personnes migrantes et les organisations humanitaires, on sait peu de choses sur les personnes auxquelles les personnes migrantes font confiance et sur les raisons de cette confiance. On ignore l’impact de cette confiance sur la capacité et la volonté des personnes migrantes de rechercher et d’obtenir une protection et une assistance humanitaires aux différentes étapes de leur parcours. Pour mieux comprendre le point de vue des personnes migrantes sur les organisations humanitaires et la confiance qu’elles leur accordent, le Laboratoire mondial des migrations de la Croix-Rouge et du Croissant-Rouge, en collaboration avec le Mouvement, a mené des recherches auprès de personnes migrantes dans les Amériques, en Afrique, en Asie-Pacifique et en Europe. La raison d’être de cette recherche est qu’en écoutant et en répondant aux pensées, aux craintes, aux doutes et aux préoccupations des personnes migrantes concernant leur situation et l’aide humanitaire et la protection qu’elles reçoivent, les organisations humanitaires peuvent mieux construire, maintenir (et, si nécessaire, réparer) la confiance.

Migrants’ Perspectives: Building Trust in Humanitarian Action
(Global Migration Lab, Australian Red Cross, 2022) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Hoagland, Nicole; Mudaliar, Sanushka
In the context of migration, trust in humanitarian organisations is critical given the vulnerabilities and risks many migrants face throughout their journeys – including an absence of community support networks, language barriers, irregular status, xenophobia and risks of abuse, violence and violations of their safety and dignity. Trust is also important in the context of the increased securitisation of migration and the conflation of border and migration control policies with humanitarian aid. Despite growing evidence and concern of a breakdown in trust between migrants and humanitarian organisations, little is known about who migrants trust when accessing humanitarian assistance and protection, and why, and how trust or distrust impacts migrants’ ability and willingness to seek help at different stages of their journeys. To gain further insight into migrants’ perspectives of – and trust in – humanitarian organisations, the Red Cross Red Crescent Global Migration Lab together with the Movement, undertook research with migrants in the Americas, Africa, the Asia Pacific and Europe. The rationale for the research is that by listening and responding to the thoughts, fears, doubts, and concerns of migrants about their situations and the humanitarian assistance and protection they receive, humanitarian organisations can better build, maintain – and, where needed, repair – trust.

‘We assist them address their distorted thoughts’: reintegration actors and the politics of post-expulsion in Kosovo
(Taylor & Francis, 2026-04-27) Junuzi, Valon
The mainstreaming of the Assisted Voluntary Return and Reintegration (AVRR) policy at the global and regional level has led to increased academic attention to the actors implementing it. However, critical research has focused on ‘assisted voluntary return’ practices in host countries during pre-expulsion, giving insufficient attention to post-expulsion dynamics in the countries of citizenship. Addressing this gap, the article examines the work of reintegration actors in Kosovo, where various state and non-state actors provide reintegration services. Using Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) of interviews with reintegration actors and drawing on the ‘analytics of government’ framework, the article conceptualises reintegration as a technology of governance that aims to influence the conduct of expelled irregular migrants in the post-expulsion phase. The article finds that reintegration actors understand irregular migration as a product of structural and individual factors, but at the level of interventions, they problematise the perceived individual psychological predispositions towards irregular migration. The analysis further shows how these actors employ psychosocial techniques to promote neoliberal subjectivities that are assumed to deter irregular re-migration while producing ‘proper’ mobile subjects. By centring the practices of reintegration actors, the article extends the spatial and temporal scope of critical scholarship towards the politics underpinning post-expulsion interventions.

Managerializing expulsion: Examining the discursive critique of assisted voluntary return and reintegration policy
(Oxford Academic, 2026-04-03) Junuzi, Valon
This article examines the assisted voluntary return and reintegration (AVRR) programmes as a distinct discourse that redefines the governance of the expulsion of irregular migrants. While critical scholarship has largely blurred the line between AVRR and deportation by emphasizing how AVRR masks coercion by using the rhetoric of ‘voluntariness’, this article moves beyond that debate to argue that AVRR’s distinctiveness lies in the production of specific knowledge on expulsion. Drawing on critical discourse analysis (CDA) of key AVRR policy documents and informed by the concept of problematization, the article explores how AVRR reshapes the knowledge and techniques surrounding expulsion and establishes post-expulsion as a problematic domain that requires reintegration interventions. The analysis shows that AVRR policy actors make use of migration management discourse to position itself as a humane, cost-effective, and sustainable alternative to deportation. Three key discursive moves are identified: first, AVRR redefines expulsion as a process involving mutually exclusive interests that needs to address the concerns of all parties involved in the expulsion process; second, it recasts coercive techniques as counterproductive and instead promotes neoliberal tools such as financial incentives and psychosocial counselling; and third, it incorporates reintegration assistance as an essential domain of governance, bringing post-expulsion condition of expelled irregular migrants under the remit of expulsion policy. Yet the article shows that these discursive moves also reveal important limitations, as they remain embedded in existing power asymmetries and ultimately centralize the interests of receiving states over those of countries of origin and irregular migrants.

Hesitant sharing, hesitant caring: How global and national policies on refugees and asylum seekers interact in the global South
(Springer, 2026-04-07) Barsoum, Ghada; Al-Barrawi, Alaa
The principle of responsibility sharing is anchored on the 1951 UN Refugee Convention and the ethical duty of countries in the global North towards refugees and asylum seekers. There is a growing recognition, however, of a North–South impasse in responsibility sharing. With focus on the case of Egypt, this paper seeks to illustrate the interdependence of transnational factors relating to global humanitarian and development aid with national policies relating to refugees and asylum seekers. Despite the growing refugee crisis in Egypt, the financial resources the country receives dim in comparison to the large number of refugees the country hosts. We argue that the hesitancy of high-income countries to share responsibilities in the global refugee crisis, which is manifest in the limited and conditional allocation of resources, has ramifications on national policies in this host country. Weakened international solidarity, a situation of hesitant sharing, translates into hesitant caring, a situation of weakened social policy support to refugees and asylum seekers. Hesitant caring, we argue, is the downstream effect of the global reluctance to support refugees and asylum seekers. In the case of Egypt, we trace it in the form of an incongruence in the country’s position towards international legal frameworks, restricting commitments to refugees and asylum seekers in some frameworks while not in others. This legislative ("de jure") incongruence is also associated with unequal and weak ("de facto") realization of care and protection.

The Glaring Gap: Undervalued and Unrecognized Knowledges and Expertise in International Migration Research
(Sage Journals, 2024-10-15) Arias Cubas, Magdalena; Mudaliar, Sanushka
As we reach the 60th anniversary of the International Migration Review, a key question for those engaged in migration research remains: has migration studies become more inclusive of knowledges and expertise outside the Global North? In short, the answer is no, and both the passage of time and the persistent awareness of this inequality require urgent and immediate action. In this article, we draw on our experiences as first- and second-generation migrant women, and as practitioner-researchers working in the humanitarian sector, to reflect on the significance of undervalued and unrecognized knowledges and expertise on migration research. We share insights from our recent work with the Red Cross Red Crescent Global Migration Lab, an initiative established to conduct migration research that informs humanitarian operations and advocacy, and we reflect on key opportunities and challenges that have impacted our efforts to generate knowledge that is more inclusive of migrants, and of practitioners and researchers from the Global South. In doing so, we highlight the possibility—even if still limited—of doing research that engages more ethically and meaningfully with those whose knowledge and expertise has long been excluded from dominant debates. We do this with a sense of hope and urgency that, by the 70th anniversary of this journal, the landscape of migration research will have changed—as a result of a concerted investment of time, resources and new ways of working—to broaden the questions asked, the objects of study and the methodologies adopted.
