Abstract

This field reflection critically examines how emerging international norms concerning forcibly displaced people of diverse sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, and sex characteristics (SOGIESC) were negotiated during the 2021 UNHCR-IE SOGI Global Roundtable on Protection and Solutions for LGBTIQ+ People in Forced Displacement. I argue that the Roundtable was a crucial site of norm contestation on queer refugee intersectionality and inclusion within the global refugee policy regime, particularly among stakeholders grounded in two interconnected, mutually responsive policy ecosystems: (1) refugee rights and assistance and (2) LGBTIQ+ human rights. Through an intersectional queer feminist understanding of complex adaptive systems, I show how Roundtable stakeholders constructively challenged precepts of impartiality, neutrality, and a charity model of needs-based humanitarianism. Finally, I propose several ways to effectively innovate the international norms that will impact LGBTIQ+ refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, and stateless people in coming years.

2021年联合国难民署-国际教育规划研究所关于保护和解决被迫流离失所的LGBTIQ+人群问题的全球圆桌会议：实现 LGBTIQ+ 难民保护的新愿景

这篇实地反思批判性地研究了在2021年联合国难民署-国际教育规划研究所关于保护和解决被迫流离失所的LGBTIQ+人群问题的SOGI全球圆桌会议期间，有关不同性取向、性别认同、性别表达和性特征（SOGIESC）的被迫流离失所者的新兴国际规范是如何被协商的。我认为，圆桌会议是全球难民政策体系中关于同性恋难民交叉性和包容性规范争论的重要场所，特别是在两个相互关联、相互响应的政策生态系统中的利益相关者之间：（1）难民权利和援助；（2）LGBTIQ+人权。通过对复杂适应系统的交叉性同性恋女权主义理解，我展示了 "圆桌会议 "的利益相关者是如何建设性地挑战公正、中立和基于需求的人道主义慈善模式的。最后，我提出了几种有效创新国际规范的方法，这些规范将在未来几年对 LGBTIQ+ 难民、寻求庇护者、境内流离失所者和无国籍人士产生影响。
