Advancing Refugee Rights Abroad Over the years, Human Rights First has also attempted to address the situation of asylum seekers outside the United States. At various times these efforts were focused on different geographical areas and thematic issues, in the late 1980s the program largely focused on the problem of mass forced displacement in Southeast Asia. In the early 1990s the program’s attention was drawn to the crisis of displacement within and from Iraq and later to the mass displacements which followed the disintegration of Yugoslavia. Concurrently, we have sought to address protection concerns on a global scale by engaging with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and other concerned actors on a range of thematic issues. |
