This being as secretive. It is very hard for us to give good advice to refugees or Asylum Seekers about the best way to manage this travel. Thats why and then ill stop, we focused on the need for states to introduce structures. Transparent, predictable structures that address the needs of Asylum Seekers and to give them legal alternatives through creative and flexible visa arrangements settlement programs, humanitarian admission programs in order to be able or safe points of departure in order to be able to address their protection needs. Megan, external reconciliation . Thank you for a really interesting question. You know it is certainly true that historically reconciliation process, transitional processes are nationally bound, so havent taken into account the regional cross border dynamics of refugee flows and the ways in which refugees can be as we say in Political Science spoilers in the context of peace processes, which is to say if their needs are not met they can potentially un
Visa arrangements settlement programs, humanitarian admission programs in order to be able or safe points of departure in order to be able to address their protection needs. Megan, external reconciliation . Thank you for a really interesting question. You know it is certainly true that historically reconciliation process, transitional processes are nationally bound, so havent taken into account the regional cross border dynamics of refugee flows and the ways in which refugees can be as we say in Political Science spoilers in the context of peace processes, which is to say if their needs are not met they can potentially undercut those processes and jeopardize their success. That said there have been interesting developments on this front. One of the report coauthors has done Extensive Research on reconciliation and dialogue processes in the arab spring countries which in some cases have had an International Dimension to them. In libya in that case particularly there have been individual
C cspan 3, watch us on hd like us on facebook, and follow us on twitter. With the ongoing news of boats in distress carrying refugees across the mediterranean to europe a look now at the situation stemming from the ongoing civil war in libya and how it affects libyas neighbors. Speakers include a representative with the office of the u. N. High commissioner for refugees, and a minister with the embassy. This 90minute forum took place at the Brookings Institution in washington. Im a senior fellow in Foreign Policy here and the project on internal displacement. For the past 22 years weve been working and doing research on internal displacement, and think this is the first time we organized an event focusing specifically on libya, and certainly the Research Carried out, and the concern with the issue predates the current attention in libya in the context of the migration crisis in europe. We have a good panel for you today, and were going to begin Megan Bradley to my far left. She teaches
Transformers are so important. Maybe explain that a little bit. But clearly there are approaches we could take as a federal entity to push further on where the grid needs to go. And you have done a good job in the report of combining the elements of different types of energy sources. Obviously, i dont think its called out so specifically in the report, but to me the biggest advent here is just the notion of distributed generation. The same kind of distributed generation that the internet brought us is bringing us distributed generation opportunities for energy which means, then, you know, again, it becomes a platform play. But what do you think are the schematics that we need to do . So how would you approach this next phase of working on grid modernization . Well, on the r d side that you mentioned, i mean you know, in broad strokes, i think the much more aggressive introduction and utilization of i. T. With the grid is absolutely critical. Just, again, as an anecdote last week when w
Happening in multiple countries, dealing with multiple actors. So, here again, i think patience is the key. And in that rather sad landscape, tunisia is a perl of reception pearl of reception, of understanding. So naturally, i think all who care are very grateful for the excellent support that has been provided by tunisia. When you think of the tunisian case, i, in my background, think as well of lebanon and other countries that have been impacted by the the surge of instability and insecurity in north africa, as well as in the center of the middle east around the syrian refugee album because there are refugee problem because there are relations. And has been a focus on how lebanon has been impacted in particular, lebanon by how the incredible number of refugees. I think we also have to think about tunisia in a significant way. And we can provide, as an International Community, direct support for relief to refugees. But, as you have said, they are part of the community in many ways. Th
