Kaldor Centre Unsw

28 June 2016, the Kaldor Centre hosted a conversation with Dr Jeff Crisp and Professor Jane McAdam on the implications of this year’s international summits to address global displacement. With the largest numbers of people displaced than at any time since the Second World War, the international community is struggling with the question of how best to respond. This year, a series of global talks has been convened to tackle this intractable question. They included the recent World Humanitarian Summit held in Istanbul in May, and the upcoming Summit on Refugees and Migrants convened by the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, on 19 September. In this seminar, Dr Jeff Crisp and Professor Jane McAdam discussed the key issues at play, what has been achieved by these global talks to date, and the prospects of success for the September summit.
