Latest ONTRAC – Issue 50: Civil society at a new frontier – new dynamics, challenges and opportunities

This special double issue of ONTRAC is to celebrate both the fiftieth issue of our newsletter, and also the twentieth anniversary of INTRAC. As part of our anniversary activities, we held an international conference in December 2011 on civil society – one of our core themes that lay at the heart of why we exist and what we do. The conference looked at civil society in the light of economic growth and the post-aid environment, and the challenges and opportunities presented by these. The articles in this issue draw together reflections from the twentieth anniversary conference, and look at the future for civil society.

UNHCR would like to draw your attention to UNHCR’s
comments to the Amended proposal for a Directive of the European
Parliament of the Council on common procedures for granting and
withdrawing international protection status (‘Asylum Procedures
Directive’ or ‘APD’) which was issued in June 2011
(http://ec.europa.eu/home-affairs/news/intro/docs/110601/319/1_EN_ACT_part1_v
12%5B1%5D.pdf
).  The document comments on amendments which differ from those of the 2009 recast proposal. Therefore, it should be read in conjunction with UNHCR’s comments to the 2009 recast
(http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/docid/4c63ebd32.html) which remain valid.
