On Oct. 28, "Asian Refugee Protection: Possibility and Challenge"
（October 28, 2016）
Closed.
The Sasakawa Peace Foundation launched a project on “the Global Trend of Refugee Issues and Future Vision of Japan and Asia” last year in the wake of the Asian boatpeople issue. We have researched the responses and challenges of the governments and civil societies in the related costal countries such as Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia in the cooperation with the Habibie Center (Indonesia). We will hold a seminar to highlight the updated situations and the analysis of those three countries.
Many Asian countries haven’t signed the Refugee Convention, and there isn’t framework for refugee protection internally and regionally. On the other hand, they have the experiences of regional cooperation in the case of the Indochinese refugees back to 1980’s. It is also notable that civil societies play significant role in order to tackle issues surrounding many forms of migration such as refugees and human trafficking. In this seminar we will discuss the issue from diverse perspectives. We hope that many of you will come and join us.
