Host countries and countries of origin of forcibly displaced people 2020

Map of the Month 06/2021

At the end of 2020 82.4 Mio. people were forcibly displaced, which is more than 1% of humanity, double the figure a decade ago and almost 3 Mio. more than in 2019 - besides the border closure in more than 160 countries. With 58,3%, the amount of Internally Displaced People (IDPs) climbed a new record high. The dynamics of protracted conflicts, the effects of climate change as well as COVID-19 are increasingly interconnected and mutually reinforcing in driving displacement.

Global conceptualisation of and advocacy for an international "Pandemic Treaty"

Map of the Month 05/2021

This month, at the World Health Assembly (WHA) in May, 59 countries proposed hosting a special WHA session in November 2021 dedicated to the pandemic treaty. Already back in April 2020, Chile first put forward the idea of a pandemic treaty, which was taken up by EU Council President Charles Michel in December 2020. At the end of March 2021, 24 heads of state and government issued a call for support for the idea.

Co-sponsors of the proposal for a TRIPS-Waiver for COVID-19 vaccines in the WTO

Map of the Month 04/2021

The TRIPS-Waiver is an initiative by India and South Africa to temporarily suspend patent rights in order to accelerate the global production of COVID-19 vaccines. So far more than 60 states have co-sponsored the initiative, many more are supportive of the idea. The US, Chile, Australia, Brazil, Japan, Canada, the EU, Mexico, Norway, New Zealand, Singapore and Switzerland have so far expressed scepticism. They point to existing flexibility within the TRIPS framework. The map shows the coalition of countries that are supportive of the initiative.

Chinese resolution on the role of human rights in the UN-system

Map of the Month 03/2021

During the 46th Human Rights Council China tabled a resolution on “mutually beneficial cooperation" for the third time that seeks to advance human rights through best practices between states instead of accountability for human rights violations. Observers see this as an attempt to undermine existing human rights standards. The resolution was adopted with 26 votes in favour, 15 against and 6 abstentions. In 2020 23 states voted in favour, 16 against and 8 abstained and in 2018 28 states voted in favour while only the US voted against and 17 states abstained.
