| FMR 48 - Religious leaders unite to disarm hearts and minds |
In the Central African Republic, where religion has been used as a tool to divide and manipulate the population, religious leaders have come together to promote tolerance and forgiveness as a basis for rebuilding peaceful cohabitation. |
Monsignor Dieudonné Nzapalainga, Imam Omar Kobine Layama, Pastor Nicolas Guerekoyame Gbangou |
|
|
| FMR 48 - Local faith actors and protection in complex and insecure environments |
Faith leaders, faith-based organisations and local faith communities play a major role in the protection of people affected by conflict, disaster and displacement. Humanitarians, however, have only recently begun to fully appreciate their protection work. |
James Thomson |

|
| FMR 48 - The role of religion in the formation of cross-community relationships |
Spiritual life is a priority in many conflict-affected communities. It is rarely prioritised by aid agencies, yet may be central to the formation and maintaining of strong and effective cross-community relationships. |
Sadia Kidwai, Lucy V Moore, Atallah FitzGibbon |
|
|
| FMR 48 - The contribution of FBOs working with the displaced |
Faith-based organisations take from their religious traditions both strong motivations & access to a long history of thinking concerning social and political issues. This can make them ideally placed to fill the gaps in the implementation of human rights |
David Holdcroft |
|
|
| FMR 48 - Faith and the secular: tensions in realising humanitarian principles |
There is good reason to engage faith-based organisations and local faith communities in humanitarian response but doing so raises challenging issues for the interpretation of humanitarian principles in what some see as a post-secular age. |
Alastair Ager |
|
|
| FMR 48 - Faith motivation and effectiveness: a Catholic experience |
CAFOD’s ability to partner with other FBOs and communities brings significant advantages for its work with displaced people. However, modern-day humanitarianism does not always sit comfortably alongside some of the practices of the major religions. |
Robert Cruickshank, Cat Cowley |
|
|
| FMR 48 - The dignity of the human person |
Catholic Social Teaching’s emphasis on the dignity of the human person is a lens that Catholic institutions use to evaluate how we as a global society enhance or threaten the dignity of the human person, especially the most vulnerable of people. |

| FMR 48 - Faith, relief and development: the UMCOR-Muslim Aid model seven years on |
Seven years ago, a strategic partnership between the United Methodist Committee on Relief and Muslim Aid in Sri Lanka was formalised into a worldwide partnership agreement. Why did the partnership not achieve its goals? |
Amjad Saleem, Guy Hovey |

| FMR 48 - Church Asylum |
Church asylum, or sanctuary, is a practice to support, counsel and give shelter to refugees who are threatened with deportation to inhumane living conditions, torture or even death. This practice can be located at the interface of benevolence and politics |

For some asylum seekers in Turkey, conversion may be an opportunistic strategy to improve resettlement prospects. |
Shoshana Fine |

|
| FMR 48 - Principles and proselytising: good practice in Ethiopia |
Faith-based organisations need to ensure that in providing essential humanitarian assistance they do not exploit the vulnerability of people by proselytising, whether overtly or covertly. |
Zenebe Desta |

| FMR 48 - Jewish roots of humanitarian assistance |

| FMR 48: ‘Welcoming the stranger’ and UNHCR’s cooperation with faith-based organisations |
Since its creation in 1950, UNHCR has engaged with faith-based organisations, faith communities and faith leaders in carrying out its work. Recently, UNHCR has been more actively exploring the role of faith in humanitarian responses. |
José Riera, Marie-Claude Poirier |
|
|
| FMR 48 - What’s faith got to do with it? |
Use of the faith-based label demands greater clarification lest it lose coherence and result in adverse policy implications, excluding religiously motivated actors from providing much-needed assistance to displaced communities, particularly inside Syria. |

| FMR 48 - Frozen displacement: Kashmiri Pandits in India |
In the 1990s nearly 250,000 people were displaced by violence in India. More than 20 years later the question for them is whether the responses to their displacement so far can form the basis for long-term solutions for their protracted displacement. |

| FMR 47 How the crisis is altering women’s roles in Syria |
The significance of women as both distributors and recipients has been pivotal to the implementation of humanitarian assistance but also points to the burgeoning of a new social dynamic that has come about as a result of the upheaval caused by the war. |

While Syrian nationals may eventually return to their home country, the future for Palestinians from Syria is increasingly uncertain. Meanwhile they are more vulnerable, and treated worse, than most other refugees from the Syrian conflict. |
Leah Morrison |
|
|
| FMR 47 The impact of displacement on disabled, injured and older Syrian refugees |
In contexts of displacement it is critical to recognise that some groups in the population may require specific attention. Awareness of these needs has major consequences for the types of services required, and the way they are delivered. |
Marcus Skinner |
|
|
| FMR 47 Gender, conscription and protection, and the war in Syria |
The struggles endured by men who remain inside Syria and the obstacles faced by others who choose to remove themselves from the fighting by fleeing the country demonstrate a need to redefine classic conceptions of vulnerability. |

Many Syrians, even when they have not been individually singled out, meet the refugee criteria on the grounds of being at risk of persecution because of a perceived association, in the broadest sense, with one of the parties to the conflict. |
