This podcast was recorded at the Annual Harrell-Bond Lecture which was on Wednesday 21 November 2007 at the University of Oxford’s Museum of Natural History. In celebration of the 25th Anniversary of the Refugee Studies Centre, HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan gave the lecture and spoke on the subject of human rights and refugees.
Issue 29 of Forced Migration Review with its feature section on ‘Humanitarian reform: fulfilling its promise?’ is now in the digital library (FMR is one of five journals available).
As with any reform, says UN Emergency Relief Coordinator John Holmes in his article in this issue, “you have the believers, the sceptics and the opponents”. The perspectives of all three camps are reflected in the 25 articles that make up this issue’s feature section on humanitarian reform – which we hope will contribute to a constructive and fruitful debate around the world. FMR 29, which will be published in English, Arabic, Spanish and French, also includes 16 other articles on a wide range of subjects.
