The paper was prepared for a UN Expert Group meeting in Santa Cruz, Bolivia, January 1993, in preparation for the 1994 World Conference on Population and Development. The paper analyses the challenges which contemporary refugee movements pose for traditional institutions of asylum, and discusses policy innovations that seek to accommodate the often conflicting demands of human rights and states rights in matters of receiving refugees.
