"The Greatest and Most Important Human Right": Citizenship and Bureaucratic Indifference in Refugee-UNHCR Correspondence

"The Greatest and Most Important Human Right": Citizenship and Bureaucratic Indifference in Refugee-UNHCR Correspondence (https://doi.org/10.21468/MigPol.3.1.001) was written by Lamis Abdelaaty in 2024. It was published in Migration Politics vol. 3.

As the title suggests, the author analyzes from UNHCR correspondence documentation. The lens of performative citizenship in particular is employed.

Refugees act as citizens of a global refugee state rather than customers/beneficiaries.

Meanwhile UNHCR itself is paternalistic and bureaucratic. No democratic accountability. Views refugees as subjects.
