Refugee Law Online - United Nations
A unique collaboration between the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and a Pakistani open university will see refugee law being taught as part of a distance-learning curriculum from next year, according to an aid official. "The world in general will benefit more by learning about the nature of the refugee situation worldwide and the challenges facing them," Jack Redden, a UNHCR spokesman, told IRIN in the Pakistani capital, Islamabad, on Monday. Three-month courses in refugee law will be offered to students from early next year according to a memorandum of understanding signed on Saturday between UNHCR and the Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), a UNHCR press statement said.
