WHOAAA!!! DA IS POSTING SOMETHING OTHER THAN PERSONA 5!!!?

Meet Cerise Ci without her mask (i forgot to draw it...i also forgot the other scars), one of my RWBY OCs. Her team is OHCR.

The team does revolve around certain Chinese elements, so they’ll show up through their outfits, as well as the figure they represent. Cerise here takes Suzaku. 

As such, her semblance is heat related; she can vary the temperature of heat expelled from her body, up to and including setting fires, but in better do so, she has to channel it through objects/a route. Typically, the fastest method to set a chain of flames is to channel through her sword as she stabs it into the ground. Varying temp as in, could warm a pot of tea with her hands.

#MiercolesDeMigrantes from the ICR in #Geneva -Humanizing Borders.

The last week of November, in Geneva the ICRC hosted an event named “Humanizing borders” I meant to publish this piece right after attending the conference, but then my stupid anxiety and other deadlines didn’t let me do it so here is it. Better later than ever right? I guess.

The moderator and hosted Helen Durham, Director of international law and Policy in the ICRC, asked the first question to the four members of the panel.

Taking in to account the legal obligation that state must address, specific in humanitarian concern. How can we a start to make borders more humane and adequate to provide an appropriate response?

The first to take the floor was the young Abdul Karim Albert, as Youth ambassador, UNHCR Global, Youth Advisory Council.

His humanitarian contribution consisted, only in his life testimony -AMAZING- about been a person forced to migrate, from Aleppo-Syria to Greece, then Italy, and finally, Germany.

The biggest challenges for him, consisted of many, but just to mention few:

Economic sanctions about the money that they are available to come into the country, restrictions of work and study as the status of refugee in transit, visa transit is not enough– then in Turkey, they found a smuggler and he realizes that -human traffic is a general thing.

For Karim, solidarity with others in the same situation is a true start for the empathy between population. Money is the trigger for smuggling and is a profession. The trip from Turkey to Greece was scary but they did it.

For him, a tip to survive is that a group with children are more likely to receive aids. Of course, now that hypothesis might be challenged by the more than 10,000 cases in the current USA administration, only waiting for an initial hearing.

He continues his life's testimony - Every border was delivering papers, they were necessary just to go through. Non-profits and shelters are needed it, population and individuals help with food and clothes (Clean underwear I would add). The work community was a spontaneous response. The connection in the arrived point is always a family who is already in the state. The reception centre needs to be adequate to protect privacy, the administrative process is always long anywhere.

As part of a solution to effectively humanize borders he says: Empower other immigrants, working along with non-profits, keep telling the stories and sensibilise people. Avoid under any situation to replicate the wrong information about refugee and please keep spreading the message against discrimination.

And finally remember to keep Challenge the narrative to include immigrants in their new society

The second speaker was Helen Obregón Gieseken. Legal advisor ICRC. – from Colombia as the next speaker says:

There is no specific legal frame that is adequate enough from any country.

Under human rights law, all states have the obligation to respect human rights, including other bodies in the law and other individual are subjects to other types of protections

Regional instruments are also important. – international humanitarian law in armed conflict. (narcotraffic)

Domestic law is also important, the ICRC is waiting that this 10 in December the global compact is signed. Is an important document. As an Update, this Document was voted the past December 19th, adopted by the General Assembly with 152 votes in favor, 12 abstentions, and five votes against, namely by the Czech Republic, Hungary, Israel, Poland, and the United States of America. An additional 24 Member States were not present to take part in the vote. And of course, is a non–legally binding document.

The principle of no refund is limed by the jurisdiction. This applies to borders territory. The state is obligated to give to the person at least temporary.

Before refusing addition or return the state has the obligation to check carefully the situation of the individual, and they can appeal the decision. Policy and practice should not be a threat to immigrants and states must consider humanitarian law.

Security and other internal concern should not overcome international human rights law.

The third to speak was. Pia Obreroi – Advisor on migration and human rights, OHCR. Even her intervention was brief was still quite concise and strong:

Human rights are universal in any border. Based on the principal on non-discrimination and equality. 

Rights to privacy and wrong practice from sates are a matter that we should observe and avoid.

States must address the issue of disproportioned used of force, they must look at the legalities of armed forces.  

Global compact and reasons why people are choosing to move, non-state actors like air companies or border guards that are private have also to pay attention to these mentioned situations. – This is an example of Non-State Actors, In this case, this topic should be tackled by effectively implement Global Governance strategies.

Finally, I guess as an Immigration Lawyer, for me the most innovative was the last speaker, Polly Pallister-Wilkins – from the University of Amsterdam, saying the following points:

Live saving activities are one of the answers to humanize borders, states, and border keepers, civil society, humanitarians’ organizations, working in a Global Governance context is the key point to start the change in how immigration is perceived.

Challenge for normativism is making sure as much as possible the law is observed and does not use as an excuse, but in anyways Mobility is always going to be risky.

Persons must be available to claim asylum and have safe routes.

We need to pay more attention to the business that migration represents to the economy in an illegal way and try to work together in solutions to tackle those problems.

Responsibility needs to be addressed also, in the same position as sovereignty

Multiallelism and soft power – must be taking into account.

The narrative in local is better – the global compact is a great start, immigration addressing from economic is not the best way.

Humanize with the fear, publicist, social marketing, social media and integrate must be articulated.

Criminalization of humanitarian workers is not an answer and is not doing any good.

For me, the was a lot of resemblance about the same problems Immigrants in México, are exposed to. 

Those types of challenges are a global problem that must be addressed from the same dimension. In conclusion yes, we need to keep working on this but now, from a wider perspective.
