JRS: - Reports

With the assistance of the US embassy, JRS launched a project to provide legal assistance and run public awareness campaigns on workers’ rights to Haitians in the Dominican Republic — in particular their rights as migrant workers.

[Reports] - [29/08/08]

On 18 August, JRS urged the government to introduce an integration plan for those displaced by xenophobic violence last May.

[Reports] - [18/08/08]

On 25 July, Amnesty International condemned the government for forcibly removing more than 700 refugees and asylum seekers from the Glenanda displacement camp near Johannesburg.

[Reports] - [30/07/08]

In an important step towards sustainable peace, 2,000 combatants of the last remaining armed rebel group in Burundi, the National Forces of Liberation (also known as Palipehutu-FNL), assembled at a demobilisation centre on 21 July.

[Reports] - [21/07/08]

Nobody denies that some children living on the border with Colombia are interested in cooperating with armed groups. It is quite possible that young people from the Emberá and Wounaan, indigenous ethnic minorities, wish to join Colombian armed groups, says a refugee from Boca de Cupe, near river Turia in the border region of southern Panama. This is also what a JRS Panama report, undertaken in 2006, found.
