The present volume highlights the new challenges of the international protection of refugees fifty years after the adoption of the 1951 Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. Focusing on the problems faced by Switzerland in the field of international protection of refugees as well as on the specificity of its asylum law and practice, this publication addresses the refugee problem from a national, European and international perspective. The Swiss experience serves to illustrate the wider problematic of on the one hand, the tensions between security, political and humanitarian concerns encountered by refugee-receiving states, and on the other, the need to preserve an international refugee protection regime which remains an essential component of international law and relations for so long as political solutions are not brought to the root causes of refugee exodus. This reflection on the international protection of refugees is organized around four main themes. The first examines Switzerland's response in the past to mass influx, in the light of historical case studies and the evolution of Swiss asylum law and practice. The second focuses on the question of access of refugees to asylum territories and refugee status determination procedures within the framework of the 1951 Convention on the Status of Refugees and the current Swiss asylum law. The third centres on the wider protection regime currently being forged in Europe to address a broader category of refugees, including solutions for temporary and subsidiary protection. The final theme revolves around return of refugees, including those under the Dayton and recent Kosovo agreements and covers reintegration of returnees, assistance and long-term development. This work is based on papers presented at a colloquium of the Graduate Institute of the International Studies in Geneva which was organised in collaboration with the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees as a contribution to the 50th anniversaries of the UNHCR and the Geneva Convention relating to the Status of Refugees.

Quatrième de couverture : Le thème de l'asile polarise l'opinion. Les conséquences des politiques d'accueil ou de fermeture sont considérables. Elles mettent en jeu des vies humaines, mais aussi parfois la concorde des sociétés hôtes. Il n'est pas exagéré d'affirmer que le soin de trier et de dissuader les réfugiés est souvent laissé aux trafiquants, parfois sans scrupules, et aux hasards de périlleux voyages. Étienne Piguet pose dans ce livre les bases d'une réflexion dépassionnée. Focalisé sur la Suisse, il situe l'ampleur et l'origine des demandes d'asile en perspective européenne et internationale. Après une première partie historique, la politique suisse est analysée en profondeur et sa toute nouvelle restructuration est détaillée. Les enjeux actuels sont ensuite abordés: mondialisation de l'asile, intégration des réfugiés, crise migratoire en Méditerranée, «réfugiés climatiques». L'ouvrage s'achève sur une série de propositions pour le futur des politiques de protection.

Media have played an important role in framing the public debate on the “refugee crisis” that peaked in autumn of 2015. This report examines the narratives developed by print media in eight European countries and how they contributed to the public perception of the “crisis”, shifting from careful tolerance over the summer, to an outpouring of solidarity and humanitarianism in September 2015, and to a securitisation of the debate and a narrative of fear in November 2015. Overall, there has been limited opportunity in mainstream media coverage for refugees and migrants to give their views on events, and little attention paid to the individuals’ plight or the global and historical context of their displacement. Refugees and migrants are often portrayed as an undistinguishable group of anonymous and unskilled outsiders who are either vulnerable or dangerous. The dissemination of biased or ill-founded information contributes to perpetuating stereotypes and creating an unfavourable environment not only for the reception of refugees but also for the longer-term perspectives of societal integration.
