The UK's Iraqi asylum seekers are now being forced to return not only to the more stable northern region, but to central and southern Iraq, says Human Rights Watch

The Nakba of 1948 is far more than a historical controversy. It’s an unresolved and pressing global issue that the Western powers who created it must take responsibility for argues Mike Marqusee.

The Socialist Worker on the plight of thousands of refugees who have fled the “war on terror” only to find the doors to countries like Britain slammed shut in their faces.

The Guardian’s record is nothing to boast of, write Media Lens – particularly with regard to Iraq’s refugee crisis.

With the media subdued, governments have not been held to account for the biggest political calamity of our time, writes Madeleine Bunting.

British policy on Iraqi refugees is not only morally indefensible, but also shortsighted, says Tom Porteous of Human Rights Watch.

A new report by Amnesty International criticises the UK for wholly inadequate measures in the current Iraq refugee crisis. The UK has forcibly returned more refugees to Iraq than any other country in Europe, although as one of the invading powers, it should have had a particular responsibility to ensure their safety.
