Kenneth Rivett Orations
To honour the lifetime commitment by Dr Kenneth Rivett to refugees and
social justice, the Refugee Council of Australia, in cooperation with Sydney University
Law School, proudly sponsored the inaugural Kenneth Rivett Orations. These were
delivered in three cities by one of the world's leading scholars in Refugee Law.
In 2005 the orations were delivered by Dr Guy S Goodwin-Gill. You can read the
orations here.

Virtual Refugee Camp
Today, about 33 million people live in temporary shelters throughout the world.
Although some people ultimately return home or move to another country, the number
of refugees and internally displaced people continues to grow. To mark Refugee
Week, Médecins Sans Frontières has created a Virtual Refugee Camp.
A visit to the site
will show the basic needs - shelter, food, water, sanitation, and health care
- of people who, because of conflict or disaster, find themselves in a refugee
camp.
Refugee Realities Project
In a similar way, Oxfam Australia has recently launched a new website about the
Refugee Realities Project. This new website represents a useful resources for
anyone who would like to broaden his or her knowledge on the experience of refugees.
