Sometimes, Refuge focuses on Canadian resettlement, policy or legal issues. At other times, we focus on regions - Afghanistan for example. A forthcomingRefugewill concentrateon the Horn of Africa. In this issue, we provide a potpourri. The articles range from problems in thebaddog to the plight of Somali refugees, Armenians in the Soviet Union and displaced refugees in the Gulf.

The criticismismild compared totherecent salvo of the Canadian Council of Churches which accused the government of perpetuating the worst human rights abuses since the internment of Japanese-Canadians during World War II, worse presumablythanthearrestof hundreds during the October crisis twenty years ago. Arul Aruliah analyzes the new refugeedeterminationprocessnotonly to suggest we are creating a new frontlog, but to suggest creative reforms to ensure the process remains both expeditious and fair.

Academics are responding to these problems with more research, more conferences and more Information, most of which reinforcepositionsadoptedby thosein the non-governmental and international sectors working to advance thecauseofrefugees. The two conferences at Oxford on Displaced Persons and Nutrition, the Singapore conference on migration, the York corferencedealingwithAfricaandwith the Limits to Obligation, all attest to this increased attention.
