Protecting Migrants During Times of Crisis: Immediate Responses and Sustainable Strategies

This paper is the second in a series that examines the relationship between crises and human mobility, with an explicit focus on the  unique  situation of migrants when their  destination countries experience crises.

It will analyse the case of migrants caught in crises as a particular type of a “migration crisis,”  a concept used to emphasize and describe the various aspects of human mobility emerging from modern-day crises. It will  consider different scenarios of migrants stranded in crises; migrant-specific vulnerabilities in crisis situations; responsibilities of home and host countries and other actors; and areas of action for policy and international cooperation.
