The Quarterly on Refugee Problems – AWR Bulletin (QRP) is the official journal of the Association for the Study of the World Refugee Problem (AWR) for the dissemination of findings on migration issues. It fosters the global, interdisciplinary discourse between academics and practitioners to provide theoretical and practical answers to questions related to forced or voluntary migration.
QRP proudly looks back to publishing tradition dating back until 1954. Since 2022 the QRP is published as an open access, double-blind peer reviewed online journal in English language and hosted by the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS). The regular due dates for the issues are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year. Its predecessor was named “Integration” (1954-1962) and transferred into the “AWR Bulletin - Vierteljahresschrift für Flüchtlingsfragen/Revue triestrielle des problèmes des réfugiés/Quarterly on Refugee Problems/Rivista trimestrale sui problemi die rifugiati” (1963-2003 published by Wilhelm-Braumüller Verlagsbuchhandlung, Vienna; 2004-2012 published by Berliner Wissenschafts-Verlag, Berlin). 2013-2021 its publication was suspended.

This issue of the Quarterly on Refugee Problems - AWR Bulletin (QRP) has a special focus on refugee situations in the Middle East. The Presidency of AWR German Section devotes a resolution to the Middle East Conflict, Simchat Torah Massacre and Gaza War. Roßkopf summarizes the related Order of the International Court of Justice of 26/1/2024 and draws conclusions for the needed peace process. Ghanem et al. compare the situation of Palestinian and Syrian refugee groups hosted in Jordan to derive recommendations for future refugee scenarios. Syrian refugee women in Jordan were also at the core of a student research and mobility project evaluated by Al-Saideh et al. This is complemented by Weidmann's analysis of potentials and limits of social work with Syrian survivors of atrocity crimes in their fight for transitional justice in German courts. Hoffman summarizes current migration related European jurisdiction and developments in politics, legislation and on the ground. Finally, the organisers announce a call for papers for AWR's upcoming international conference on "Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration: Humanitarian Pathways".
