- Agenda / Serbie, Région parisienneMilorad Dodik fait désormais l'objet d'un mandat d'arrêt, mais jamais le dirigeant serbe n'a lancé si loin la menace sécessionniste. La Republika Srpska ne reconnaît plus les institutions communes du pays. La Bosnie-Herzégovine est à un tournant de son histoire.
- Articles / RS sécession, Crise politique Bosnie, Bosnie-Herzégovine, PolitiqueThe landscape of peace operations in Africa has transformed over the past decade, including a marked increase in African-led peace support operations (PSOs). Since the early 2000s, the African Union (AU) and UN have evolved distinct, albeit parallel, conceptual and operational approaches to the protection of civilians (POC). While the UN views POC in peacekeeping as a whole-of-mission objective, with military, police, and civilian components prioritizing POC and proactively protecting civilians, the AU views itself as contributing to the protection of civilians primarily by neutralizing armed groups and establishing a protective environment. These differences raise important questions about how POC will be upheld in the context of the UN-AU partnership.
This report examines the operational differences between UN and AU approaches to POC, assessing their respective advantages and limitations. It highlights how African-led PSOs tend to be more able and willing to use force to respond to outbreaks of violence and to contain aggressors but have less sustainable and flexible financing than UN peacekeeping operations. Meanwhile, UN peacekeeping missions with POC mandates have more robust civilian and police components but may lack rapid response capabilities. To strengthen their partnership on POC, the two organizations should leverage their comparative advantages, acknowledge their respective limitations, and work toward an approach to POC that is tailored to each context.
Based on the findings in this report, the following recommendations are made:

The annual report prepared by Eda Gemi and Bledar Feta for the OECD Network of International Migration Experts, provides an in-depth analysis of migration trends, asylum processes, integration policies, and legislative developments in Greece, covering data from 2023 and the first nine months of 2024.
The analysis explores the composition and socio-demographic characteristics of the immigrant population in Greece, examining its size, distribution, and labour market participation. Special attention is given to the flows and stock of asylum seekers and irregular migrants, particularly those entering through Greek-Turkish sea and land borders. Additionally, the report highlights key policy developments in migration and asylum policy during 2023-2024, addressing the challenges and priorities Greece faces in managing migration and integration policies.
The report is structured into six chapters:
Chapter 1 provides a broad overview of recent migration trends, drawing on the statistical data to analyze the size, composition, and main characteristics of the migrant population, including their participation in the labour market.
Chapter 2 examines the presence of asylum seekers and refugees, assessing their size, demographic profile, and legal status. It also covers asylum applications, Dublin cases, relocation efforts, the decongestion of the Agean Islands, and transfers to the mainland, with a particular focus on unaccompanied minors (UAMs).
Chapter 3 addresses irregular migration flows, returns, and readmissions, providing insights into deportation procedures, detention policies, fast-track asylum processes, and push-back allegations.
Chapter 4 focuses on the reception and integration of Ukrainian refugees in Greece, outlining specific policies and measures implemented to support this group.
Chapter 5 examines the reception system, accommodation schemes, and broader integration policies for asylum seekers and refugees. Special emphasis is placed on the housing and protection of unaccompanied minors.
Chapter 6 discusses policy and legislative developments, including citizenship acquisitions, racism and xenophobia.
Between, 2023 and 2024, Greece’s migration landscape was significantly shaped by increasing migration flows, evolving policy reforms, and ongoing human rights concerns. While Greece’s foreign population grew, partially offsetting some of population loss, the country still faced considerable challenges in managing labour migration and regularization programs, outward migration, irregular migration and asylum pressures. These challenges highlight the complex interplay of political, humanitarian and economic factors that Greece faces in its efforts to manage irregular migration, while balancing the needs of the domestic labour market with its obligations under EU and international law.

La Cour maudite, c'est le surnom d'une prison mal famée de Constantinople. On y rencontre tous les types humains : des malfaiteurs et des innocents, des gueux et des princes.
