Restore legality to protect refugees and the society at large amidst the pandemic

CARE International's Global Rapid Gender Analysis on COVID-19, conducted in consultation with the International Rescue Committee (IRC).

The IRC joined 65 human rights and humanitarian organisations calling on European governments to proceed immediately with the emergency relocation of unaccompanied children from the Reception and Identification Centres (RICs) on the Greek islands, with no discrimination, giving precedence to existing family links and the best interests of the child.

New report by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) finds that fragile and conflict-affected countries face a double emergency: the arrival and impact of COVID-19, and the secondary humanitarian, economic and political havoc this outbreak will wreak on countries like South Sudan, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen and refugee camps worldwide.

The Danish Refugee Council, International Rescue Committee and Mixed Migration Center - Members of the Mixed Migration Consortium - call on the governments along the Central Mediterranean Route to protect the lives of all, regardless of status.

COVID-19 has already overwhelmed health systems in high-income countries. As it spreads to fragile and crisisaffected countries, it threatens even greater devastation. There is a small window left to mount a robust response while COVID-19 is still in the early stages of spreading to these settings. COVID-19 is a global threat requiring a global response, but the steps to contain it should be designed locally, particularly in the crisis settings where the International Rescue Committee (IRC) works, to avoid exacerbating humanitarian suffering.

Open letter to Mr Notis Mitarakis Greece Minister on Migration and Asylum

IRC's briefing ahead of the New EU Pact on Migration and Asylum.

Over 50 Syrian and international NGOs published a report calling for action by participants of the upcoming Brussels IV Conference on the Future of Syria and the Region to support people displaced in and from Syria in their search for an end to displacement.

Syrian refugees have lived through almost 10 years of displacement, a situation which is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. At this uncertain juncture, with economic downturn due to the COVID-19 pandemic, now more than ever there is a critical need for supporting livelihoods and enhancing prospects for durable solutions in both Jordan and Lebanon.
