Forced Migration in ASEAN: What Can We Do About It?

Forced Migration in ASEAN: What Can We Do About It?

There are currently hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of refugees in Southeast Asia. Malaysia alone is home to around 187 000 UNHCR registered refugees (which means the actual numbers are much higher). Yet, we and many countries in the region do not have a comprehensive refugee rights and protections framework.

So, what are the most critical gaps and challenges identified in the existing forced migration architecture within ASEAN?

The Centre for Policy Development is an Australian-based, independent policy institute, which together with the Asia Dialogue on Forced Migration (ADFM), published a paper trying to answer exactly that.

We speak to Andrew Hudson, CEO, Centre for Policy Development (Australia).
