    Canada Among Donors: What Do the Latest Foreign Aid Statistics Tell Us?

    • April 17, 2018

    The preliminary aid statistics for 2017 are now out. What do they tell us about global trends and Canadian foreign aid? Globally, official development assistance (ODA) from traditional donors has held steady. The total amount, US$147 billion, is down slightly compared to 2016, but only because the amount spent on resettling refugees in donor countries has dropped. (Accounting

    Time to Make the Rainbow Refugee Assistance Plan Permanent

    • March 21, 2018

    In too many countries around the world, LGBTQ persons are criminalized — singled out for who they love — with criminal penalties including prison time and death. Canada’s refugee admission system is not perfect, but one of its great strengths is that it prioritizes the admission of this highly vulnerable population. In doing so, Canada

    Afghanistan’s Outlook for 2018 and Beyond

    • January 29, 2018

    The New Year ushers in predictions of what to expect in the coming year, but no predictions are necessary for Afghanistan this past week — the news says it all: three major attacks adding up to hundreds of casualties. Since Operation Enduring Freedom (2001), the international community has provided assistance to the Afghan government, military,

    Commemorating Jewish Refugees from Arab Countries and Iran

    • December 5, 2017

    On November 30th, the State of Israel commemorates Jewish refugees from Arab Countries and Iran. The date is symbolic in itself, as the previous day, November 29th, marks the anniversary of the United Nations General Assembly vote of 1947 that called for the creation of two independent states, one Arab and one Jewish, in the

    Merkel’s “Homelessness” of Power and the Future of the EU

    • October 23, 2017

    It has been very quiet in Berlin after the general election of 24 September. Yes, Angela Merkel officially won the election with 26.8% or 200 seats in the new Bundestag. However, her Christian Democrats (CDU) together with the Christian Social Union (CSU) — a provincial party from Bavaria that works with the CDU on the

    The Politics of Border Security in the Sahel

    • May 9, 2017

    By Philippe M. Frowd A casual observer of the Sahel could be forgiven for understanding this region of West Africa as a space of threat: radicalization, terrorism, massive population growth, and irregular migration all grab the headlines. This vision is visible in the policy world, too: one only needs to glance at the ever-expanding number

    We Must Not Close the Doors to Spontaneously Arriving Asylum Seekers

    • November 8, 2016

    By Stephanie J. Silverman Governments understandably focus on enhancing security, surveillance, and risk management for their citizens, and as we have seen, particularly since 9-11, much of this increased attention is directed at national borders. While every person enjoys the legal right to seek asylum in Canada, the UK, the US, and any other signatory

    • May 20, 2016

    The devastating civil war in Syria has resulted in the largest forced migration of people since the Second World War. To date, 13.5 million Syrians are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance, including 4.8 million registered refugees and another 6.6 million internally displaced. Those who risk the journey out of Syria face perilous travel, bare

    Migration as a Threat to Foreign Aid?

    • March 16, 2016

    The current migration crisis poses a threat to foreign aid. By that, I certainly do not mean that the refugees and asylum seekers themselves are dangerous, but rather how Western governments respond to the crisis is already having a negative impact on foreign aid, one that will worsen significantly in the coming years. In short,

On November 9, while announcing the formation of a sub-committee of cabinet ministers to expedite the refugee initiative, the minister for Immigration, Refugees
