The International Journal of Refugee Law has fulfilled its promise, as predicted by the Times Higher Education Supplement, in becoming one of the key source materials in the field of refugee protection. The journal aims to stimulate research and thinking on refugee law and its development, taking account of the broadest range of State and international organization practice. In addition, it serves as an essential tool for all engaged in the protection of refugees and finding solutions to their problems. It regularly provides key information and commentary on today`s critical issues, including the causes of refugee and related movements, internal displacement, the particular situation of women and refugee children, the human rights dimension, restrictive policies, asylum and determination procedures, populations at risk and the conditions in different countries. It is of immeasurable value to anyone involved in refugee work, whether lawyers, teachers, students, researchers, NGO workers, or officials in immigration, government, and international organizations. In addition to publishing original articles, the journal also features regular sections containing selected documents, case abstracts and comments, book reviews and annotated bibliographies of reports and other publications.

Teisingumas, laisvė ir saugumas iš Europos Komisijos perspektyvos: Teisingumo, laisvės ir saugumo generalinis direktoratas yra vienas iš 36 Europos Komisijos departamentų. Komisija yra nepriklausoma nuo nacionalinių vyriausybių. Jos darbas – atstovauti visos ES interesams ir juos ginti. Ji rengia naujų Europos teisės aktų pasiūlymus, kuriuos teikia Europos Parlamentui ir Tarybai. Generaliniai direktoratai sumano ir rengia teisės aktų pasiūlymų projektus, bet šie pasiūlymai tampa oficialiais tik tada, kai savaitiniame posėdyje juos patvirtina Komisija. Komisija atsakinga už kasdienę Europos Sąjungos veiklą: politikos įgyvendinimą, programų vykdymą, lėšų naudojimą. Europos Komisija vykdo keturias svarbiausias funkcijas:

1) siūlo teisės aktus Parlamentui ir Tarybai;

2) administruoja ir vykdo ES politiką bei biudžetą;

3) kartu su Teisingumo Teismu įgyvendina ES teisę;

4) atstovauja ES tarptautinėje arenoje, pavyzdžiui, derėdamasi dėl ES susitarimų su kitomis valstybėmis.

Vienas iš jos uždavinių yra užtikrinti teisingumą, laisvę ir saugumą ES teritorijoje. Šis uždavinys buvo pripažintas ir įrašytas jau Mastrichto sutartyje (1992), bet tik 1999 m. spalio mėn. tam skirtame susitikime Tamperėje (Suomija) ES šalių ir jų vyriausybių vadovai ėmėsi iš esmės spręsti, kaip jį įgyvendinti. Jie susitarė žengti konkrečius žingsnius, kad Sąjunga taptų vientisa „laisvės, saugumo ir teisingumo erdve“. Tai reiškia, kad laiduojamos pagrindinės Europos Sąjungos piliečių teisės ir užtikrinamos vienodos sąlygos joje teisėtai gyvenantiems ne Europos Sąjungos piliečiams. Tai taip pat reiškia koordinuojamą prieglobsčio teikimo ir imigracijos, vizų išdavimo ir ES išorinių sienų priežiūros politiką. Praktiškai visa tai reiškia glaudų nacionalinių policijos pajėgų, muitinės, imigracijos tarnybų pareigūnų ir teismų bendradarbiavimą.

The Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), established in 1998 by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), is the leading international body monitoring conflict-induced internal displacement worldwide.
Through its work, the Centre contributes to improving national and international capacities to protect and assist the millions of people around the globe who have been displaced within their own country as a result of conflicts or human rights violations.
At the request of the United Nations, the Geneva-based IDMC runs an online database providing comprehensive information and analysis on internal displacement in some 50 countries. Based on its monitoring and data collection activities, the Centre advocates for durable solutions to the plight of the internally displaced in line with international standards. The IDMC also carries out training activities to enhance the capacity of local actors to respond to the needs of internally displaced people (IDPs). In its work, the Centre cooperates with and provides support to local and national civil society initiatives.

International Association of Refugee Law Judges. It is now 50 years since the international community settled on a Convention to provide surrogate protection for people with a well-founded fear of being persecuted for one of the five Convention reasons. Article 1A(2) of the Refugee Convention is the cornerstone of international protection where it states:
"As a result of events occurring before 1 January 1951 and owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it.."Over this 50 year period, and particularly with the huge growth in asylum seekers over the past 10 years, the interpretation and application of the Convention has become a highly relevant, often contentious, piece of international law. Increasingly, both countries who are signatories to the Convention and those who are not, have turned to appellate judges and adjudicators to give independent interpretation and application of refugee law. It was against this background that the International Association of Refugee Law Judges (IARLJ) was formed in Warsaw in 1997 following two highly successful conferences in London and Nijmegen in the previous two years.
The International Association of Refugee Law Judges seeks to foster recognition that protection from persecution on account of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion is an individual right established under international law, and that the determination of refugee status and its cessation should be subject to the rule of law.

The International Commission of Jurists is dedicated to the primacy, coherence and implementation of international law and principles that advance human rights. What distinguishes the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) is its impartial, objective and authoritative legal approach to the protection and promotion of human rights through the rule of law. The ICJ provides legal expertise at both the international and national levels to ensure that developments in international law adhere to human rights principles and that international standards are implemented at the national level. The Commission was founded in Berlin in 1952 and its membership is composed of sixty eminent jurists who are representatives of the different legal systems of the world. Based in Geneva, the International Secretariat is responsible for the realisation of the aims and objectives of the Commission. In carrying out its work, the International Secretariat benefits from a network of autonomous national sections and affiliated organisations located in all continents. Awards recognising the ICJ's contributions to the promotion and protection of human rights include the first European Human Rights Prize by the Council of Europe, the Wateler Peace Prize, the Erasmus Prize, and the United Nations Award for Human Rights.

When founded in 1952, the International and Comparative Law Quarterly (ICLQ) was unique. It was the only journal which offered the reader coverage of comparative law as well as public and private international law. It has maintained its pre-eminence as one of the most important journals of its kind encompassing Human Rights and European Law. It continues to offer practitioners and academics wide topical coverage without compromising rigorous editorial standards. Under the general editorship of Alan Boyle and Mads Andenas, the journal continues to attract scholarship of the highest standard from around the world.

Since it was founded in 1958, the IISS (International Institute for Strategic Studies) has been devoted to the study of the problems of conflict, however caused, that have, or potentially have, an important military content. To this end, the Institute’s research programme has been concerned not just with the military aspects of security but also with the social and economic sources of conflict, as well as the political and moral implications of the use and existence of armed force.

The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has worked for displaced persons since 1946. It is today a private foundation, and one of the largest humanitarian organizations in Norway. NRC has specialized in international activities for refugees and displaced persons. Through its efforts they provide assistance and contribute towards the protection of displaced people. NRC executes projects in Asia, Latin America, Africa and Europe. Protection is the cornerstone in all its efforts aimed at refugees and internally displaced persons, and will be a reoccurring theme in all of NRC's activities. In 1991, NRC established the world's first emergency preparedness force, NORSTAFF, for the UN system. NORSTAFF consists of 300 women and men, ready on 72-hours' notice to be deployed anywhere in the world to assist in emergency operations. At any given time, approximately 100 persons are out on deployments. Later, the NORDEM and NORAFRIC rosters were established. NRC wants to be a forceful advocate for the rights of refugees and internally displaced persons, internationally as well as in Norway. Advocacy is an integrated part of our program activities.

The odysseus network aims to analyse the legislation of EU Member States and legislation of the EU in the areas of migration and asylum. The objective is to furnish universities, policy-makers, practitioners and NGOs with a deeper insight into these issues, from a European perspective. The results of our analysis will be presented to the European Institutions, in order to help them in prepare a legislation based on the new provisions of the Treaty of Amsterdam. The working languages are English and French. This Network will carry out comparative legal studies on different themes.

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) carries out multidisciplinary research including policy relevant work on the causes and consequences of forced migration with an emphasis on understanding the experiences of those affected. Research at the RSC is currently organised around three broad areas of investigation which include a variety of disciplinary approaches, special interests and geographical foci:
Forced migration, global economy and governance:
Research on the political, economic and social contexts which are significant in precipitating forced migration, and in shaping responses by various actors. These include historical linkages (such as colonial or post-colonial relationships); demographic factors, inequality and poverty; societal structures and social relationships; ethnic and religious patterns; development strategies; trade and investment patterns; political forces and governance; and security issues.
The Experience and Management of Displacement:
This area primarily involves anthropological, psychosocial and sociological research on: the lived-reality of conflict induced displacement; transition to peace; children and adolescents in conflict situations; psychosocial impact and healing; the work of humanitarian agencies with conflict affected populations.
Institutional and Normative Responses to Forced Migration:
This area primarily involves legal and political research on: laws and policies relating to refugees, asylum seekers and internally displaced persons; the history, current workings and future of national, regional and international refugee regimes; and the ethical issues raised by responses to forced migration by states, NGOs and international organisations.

University of Michigan. Law School. Refugee Caselaw Site. The purpose of this site is to promote transnational analysis of refugee law by advocates, decision-makers, and policymakers committed to the effective implementation of international standards. The site currently collects, indexes, and publishes selected recent court decisions that interpret the legal definition of a "refugee." It presently contains cases from the highest national courts of Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Cases are in this database only because of their topical relevance. Users should not rely on any case as a current, correct, and complete statement of the law without further research into its subsequent history and treatment.

Refugees International (RI) generates lifesaving humanitarian assistance and protection for displaced people around the world, and works to end the conditions that create displacement.The characteristics of our effective and efficient organization are independence, flexibility, and the cutting-edge quality of our advocacy. We take an uncompromising rights-based approach to advocacy on behalf of refugees and displaced persons. RI acts first and foremost as a witness to the suffering of the displaced. Our advocates spend weeks in the field interviewing and meeting with war-affected populations, non-governmental organizations and aid agencies. RI conducted missions in over 30 countries last year, including regions of the world where we have never previously worked. In the past year, RI visited Afghanistan, the Great Lakes region of Africa, West Africa, Southern Africa, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, Angola, Guatemala, Colombia, the Balkans, Lebanon and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Uganda, the Thai-Burmese border, and the Caucasus, just to name a few. RI advocates assess humanitarian problems, identify the most urgent needs and move quickly to develop immediate solutions to those needs. Our contribution to the humanitarian field lies in our unique combination of advocacy and action, both with hands-on expertise in crisis situations and with policymakers in Washington, New York, Geneva and other centers. We can describe the impact of our work with a single word – leverage. RI’s advocacy generates increases in resources and policy changes by governments and UN agencies that improve conditions for refugees and displaced people. RI does not accept any government or UN funding. Rather, RI leverages donations from individuals, foundations and corporations into hundreds of thousands of dollars of lifesaving assistance and protection. This, along with our early warning/early action mandate, allows RI to be a powerful, respected and unfettered voice.

Refugee Survey Quarterly (RSQ) is published four times a year and serves as an authoritative source for current refugee and country information through a selection of articles, conference reports, documents, abstracts and bibliographies of refugee-related literature.
