The global number of displaced persons are currently historically high. The capacity to provide refugee protection in conformity with international human rights standards is being tested not just in Sweden and Europe, but even more so in countries in the region of origin, which continue to host the vast majority of the world’s refugees. At the same time, many developed countries are ducking their responsibilities. Draconian immigration policies are put in place and borders re-erected both within and around Europe. Based on current research conducted at Lund University and the Raoul Wallenberg Institute this panel discusses what could and should be done to improve refugee protection, locally, nationally, regionally and globally.

Mänskliga rättigheter i praktiken
The 2013 Zimbabwean Constitution offers great promises to both citizens and foreign nationals who live within the country's territorial borders. These promises range from an almost exhaustive list of enforceable fundamental rights, including economic, social and cultural rights, to the creation of a number of independent and state institutions supporting democracy (i.e. the Human Rights Commission, the Gender Commission and the Anti-corruption Commission). However, amid these promises lie challenges. The people's enjoyment of the promises of the Declaration of Rights will mainly depend on multiple factors, including the presence of a vibrant civil society, empowered citizenry and an accountable government that is politically willing to translate the promises into reality. In this panel, Zimbabwean academics and professionals, with a moderator from the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, will discuss the promises, challenges and opportunities in this regard.
