Burma suffers both from immense poverty and human rights abuses but it receives the lowest aid of all Least Developed Countries. The Committee believe that the international community must find a way to increase funding to the growing number of vulnerable people, especially those who have been forcibly displaced. As one of only four donors with staffed offices in Burma, DFID is in a lead position to help these people. Although it has quadrupled its Burma budget over the last six years, the Committee think that this should be scaled up and include specific funding for cross-border assistance. DFID's plan to relocate the management of its programme from Bangkok to Rangoon is criticised because it is thought that, to fully and independently engage with cross border assistance, a presence is needed in Thailand.

Download Humanitarian Assistance for Displaced Persons from Myanmar Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is one of four volumes on a major empirical migration study by leading Thai migration specialists from Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok) for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). This volume examines the protracted refugee situation at the Thai–Myanmar border. Displaced persons are kept in closed settlements, and this has limited their self-reliance. A resettlement program has been implemented and many refugees have been accepted in resettlement countries. Repatriation is not recommended as a durable solution unless Myanmar becomes a safe place for return. Funding and intervention policies of international organizations and NGOs vary. Donors prefer to switch humanitarian assistance to development aid. The book provides realistic policy recommendations for a durable solution for refugees at the borders. Practitioners and policymakers from governments, international organizations and NGOs will benefit from its findings. The volume is also helpful for anyone studying forced migration and its denouement in the globalized age.

Download Resettlement of Displaced Persons on the Thai-Myanmar Border Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
This book is one of four volumes on a major empirical migration study by leading Thai migration specialists from Chulalongkorn University (Bangkok) for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The camps on the Thai–Myanmar border are the result of the world’s largest resettlement program. However, despite large-scale financial and human resource engagement, little research exists on how successful this resettlement has been. This book provides the first insight on how realistic the policy recommendations are for a durable solution for refugees at the borders. Practitioners and policymakers from governments, international organizations and NGOs will benefit from its findings. The volume is also helpful for anyone studying forced migration and its denouement in the age of globalization.

The civil war in Burma has been dubbed as the longest running internal conflict in the world, and hundreds of thousands have fled desperation and abuse across the border to Thailand. Today, countless of exiles live on the Thailand-Burma border as undocumented migrants, whilst thousands of others have lived confined to the refugee camps for years, even decades, with no way out. And all the while, hundreds of thousands are still displaced in the jungles of eastern Burma. Although there have recently been changes in Burma's political landscape, the underlying causes of the conflict remain unaddressed. Recent changes on the border have adversely affected the refugee population and severely hampered not only aid efforts but also the work of the pro-democracy and capacity building movement that has thrived on the Thailand-Burma border for decades. This book provides an insight into the situation on the border and the lives of those who remain trapped in a limbo.

This paper written for the US Committee for Refugees (USCR) is based on two site visits to the Thai-Burmese border in July 1989 and April 1990. Mr Robinson, a USCR policy analyst, focuses principally on the Burmese students and ethnic minorities who have crossed the border and sought aid and protection in Thailand. He begins by reviewing recent events in Burma (Myanmar) as they affected students and the flight from the cities after September 1980. Attention is given to the policies of both the Burmese and Thai Governments towards the students who arrived on the border. The evolution of the governments' policies is shown through the history of the joint repatriation centre at a military airfield outside the Thai city of Tak and various incidents of 'forced repatriation'. Mr Robinson describes cross-border aid to the student camps starting in late 1988 and the challenges it faces. Information shows the location of sites of Burmese refugee and displaced persons camps, populations of the camps, and known repatriations. In addition to the plight of students, Mr Robinson focuses on ethnic minorities like the Karen and their situation in camps in Thailand. He also examines briefly other populations of concern who have either been displaced inside Burma or who reside in Thailand and may have reason to fear returning to Thailand. After looking at aid and asylum in Thailand, the author concludes with recommendations for the Burmese concerning asylum, humanitarian assistance, resettlement and sanctions.

This book provides essential background information on the protracted displacement of several ethnic groups along the Thai-Myanmar border before turning to an examination of whether Myanmar has now shifted into a post-conflict society, the expected challenges involved in reintegrating returnees to Myanmar, and the possibility of voluntary and sustainable repatriation. The authors conclude that, given the current, ongoing security challenges and the lack of job opportunities in Myanmar, voluntary repatriation is not yet feasible as a long-term solution. After more than 60 years of conflict and displacement, Myanmar is now in the midst of political reform. A new nominally civilian government and the promise of elections in 2015 have raised hopes of a lasting democratic transition after years of military rule. For the first time in decades, repatriation of refugees in Thailand is being discussed as a real and imminent possibility.
