Harrell Bond Lecture

On 18 November 2009 (5pm), Jan Egeland will give the tenth annual
Harrell-Bond lecture, organised by the Refugee Studies Centre (Oxford
Department of International Development, University of Oxford) . Mr
Egeland is the former UN Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian
Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. The lecture will be entitled
'Beyond blankets: in search of political deals and durable solutions for
the displaced'. He will chart recent changes which have led to the
enhanced provision of humanitarian relief for the world's displaced. He
will also reflect on the importance of gaining political agreements and
delivering effective security arrangements, arguing how these are
central to any long-term resolution to the refugee crisis.

The lecture will take place at the Oxford University Museum of Natural
History, Parks Road in Oxford (OX1 3TB
<http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&tab=wl&q=OX1%203PW>) and will be
