At a regional conference on migration and asylum in
the Arab region held last Thursday in Amman, Prince Hassan highlighted the
importance of cooperation, integration, and networking among all local,
regional, and international bodies to address challenges faced by refugees and
migrants.
Over the course of two days, the “Refugees and
Migrants from and in the Arab Region: Shadows of Discrimination” conference
focused on the problems and challenges refugees and migrants face in and out of
the Arab region, including discrimination and exclusion.
Prince Hassan asserted that refugee and immigrant
issues must be approached from multiple humanitarian, political, and
development perspectives. To “humanize refugee and migrant statistics”, he
advocated a national knowledge network for the region and a regional
socio-economic council with “common theme clustering”.
The prince asserted that improving the lives of
refugees will require multidisciplinary engagement, interdependence, and
integration, and urged responsible dialogue between societies and institutions
based on knowledge and information.
The conference, attended by international and civil
society representatives, Arab and foreign academia, official bodies, and
interested parties, aimed to provide a critical overview of the various
patterns of discrimination against Arab immigrants and refugees, including
structural and political issues.
The gathering also aimed to steer the dialogue
toward outcomes by identifying a number of recommendations and advocacy
messages that relied on legal tools, institutional mechanisms, and strategies
to improve protection.
The event was
organized by the Migration and Refugee Forum for the Arab World of the
Arab Renaissance for Democracy and Development, and the Tamkeen Center for Legal Aid and Human Rights with the
support of the Heinrich Boll Foundation in Jordan and Palestine.
