But critics fear it is accelerating flawed deportation processes that are prone to rights abuses and short on safeguards. An investigation by The New Humanitarian suggests the Readmission Case Management System, or RCMS, may have been used to deport migrants who had legal permission to stay in the EU, as well as...

Myanmar in-depth: Slow earthquake response underlines need to overhaul long-flawed international aid efforts

1 month ago | thenewhumanitarian.org | Will Worley

Critics have long attacked the UN – and other international aid actors – for working only with the permission of the junta, delivering aid mainly within territory it controls. With the 28 March earthquake disaster crossing...
