Central Intelligence Agency · 1995-10-01 · 205 pages · text from the file's own layer
This Central Intelligence Agency conference report, numbered RTT 95-10039 and dated October 1995, presents the proceedings of a conference held 30 September to 1 October 1993. The CIA's Geographic Resources Division sponsored the conference. In it, academic geographers, anthropologists and US Government officials examined ethnic conflict by region, covering Eastern Europe, the former Soviet Union, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Asia and South Asia. The report also discusses what these conflicts mean for US policy. It does not deal with UFOs or unidentified aerial phenomena.

Conclusion
Let me conclude by noting one of the main problems
of the international response to forced migrations with
ethnic components. That is, that migration regimes are
set up on a bilateral basis that impinge on multilateral
responses to regional problems. Individual states are
setting laws while the responses to refugee-producing
crises-~often related to ethnic conflict—a.re multilat-
eral.
Further, the UN is increasingly finding it difficult to
intervene in many countries; they do not have the full
mandate to deal with the internally displaced. In con-
clusion, it is difficult for policymakers to do more than
react to the latest refugee crises. By attempting to mit-
igate refugee fiows by tailoring policies to react to
events at local and regional levels, it will be easier to
respond to, if not predict, ethnic conflict that dismpts
the entire state. If that is done, govemments will be
able at least to reduce the trauma of forced migrants
and refugees, if not eliminate the cause of their move-
ment altogether.
