Book Description
Adolescence is the shortest yet the most important part of your life. In fact, it’s exactly like a football game. Think about it. At kick-off, you’re nervous, unsettled and anxious to get a reading of your opposition. Sounds a bit like the first day of 6th grade, doesn't it? You’ve just turned 12, you are at the very beginning of your adolescent lives and have absolutely no idea what it entails. However, unlike a football game, you never really get any training for adolescence. Luckily for you, this book contains the lessons we’ve learnt the hard way and they available to you for free.* (*well ?399 is worth it, isn't it?) You may be thinking, what profound advice are these two idiotic teenagers giving me, and do they really think it can help me? Well, it might, because we are the only ones who truly get what you feel. And, if it doesn't, ?399 to a charity is worth it anyways. (We have a strict no-return policy.) This book is for those who are about to begin their adolescent lives and embark on an unforgettable and, for the most part, stressful journey. Now, we are well aware that you have some boring school work to attend to, so we've kept this short, but hopefully long enough to teach you some “Ado-lessons”. We promise this will be the best read of your life, or at least the most relatable.

People Forced to Flee
Author: United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 019108977X
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 340
Book Description
People in danger have received protection in communities beyond their own from the earliest times of recorded history. The causes — war, conflict, violence, persecution, natural disasters, and climate change — are as familiar to readers of the news as to students of the past. It is 70 years since nations in the wake of World War II drew up the landmark 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. People Forced to Flee marks this milestone. It is the latest in a long line of publications, stretching back to 1993, that were previously entitled The State of the World's Refugees. The book traces the historic path that led to the 1951 Convention, showing how history was made, by taking the centuries-old ideals of safety and solutions for refugees, to global practice. It maps its progress during which international protection has reached a much broader group of people than initially envisaged. It examines international responses to forced displacement within borders as well as beyond them, and the protection principles that apply to both. It reviews where they have been used with consistency and success, and where they have not. At times, the strength and resolve of the international community seems strong, yet solutions and meaningful solidarity are often elusive. Taking stock today - at this important anniversary – is all the more crucial as the world faces increasing forced displacement. Most is experienced in low- and middle-income countries and persists for generations. People forced to flee face barriers to improving their lives, contributing to the communities in which they live and realizing solutions. Everywhere, an effective response depends on the commitment to international cooperation set down in the 1951 Convention: a vision often compromised by efforts to minimize responsibilities. There is growing recognition that doing better is a global imperative. Humanitarian and development action has the potential to be transformational, especially when grounded in the local context. People Forced to Flee examines how and where increased development investments in education, health and economic inclusion are helping to improve socioeconomic opportunities both for forcibly displaced persons and their hosts. In 2018, the international community reached a Global Compact on Refugees for more equitable and sustainable responses. It is receiving deeper support. People Forced to Flee looks at whether that is enough for what could – and should – help define the next 70 years.
