High Commissioner’s Global Initiative on Somali Refugees – Reading List

The publications signposted here are a brief and introductory list for the High-Level Panel members who may wish to read more about various aspects of the Somali refugee problematic. The list also gives some readings from other contexts, as these could help illuminate our examination of the Somali situation. Please note that the literature is much more exhaustive than this list, as only readings which are freely accessible online have been noted here.
