Refugee issues in a post-Cold War world
Article Abstract:
Efforts to repatriate citizens displaced during the Cold War era is possible. However, the power vacuum created by the absence of the major superpowers in some countries in the onset of the post-Cold War era has caused widespread anarchy. In essence, new groups of refugees have emerged. Consequently, the Migration and Refugee Services Office will continue to play a crucial role in the resettlement of refugees. International concern, different approaches to the settlement of disputes and other US policies are important but without workable resettlement policies, all efforts will be meaningless.

Resettling refugees: U.N. facing new burden
Article Abstract:
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has called for the allocation of more funds to prevent the displacement of people as a result of war, atrocities and persecution. According to the UNHCR, there were 17 million displaced people in 1993. In 1995, that figure climbed to more than 27 million. The UNHCR noted that although the number of people who have been forced to flee to other countries has fallen, the number displaced within their own countries has risen sharply.
