On August 19, 2003, the UN headquarters in Baghdad was bombed with the loss of life of 22 people and injuries to dozens of others. Among those seriously injured was one of this book’s contributors, Gil Loescher, who was consulting about how best to manage Iraqi refugee issues. Gil has spent his academic life working on humanitarian and political issues surrounding refugees and has influenced the thinking of many people on how to improve the lives of refugees. His commitment to a better understanding of humanitarianism, and to the translation of that understanding so that it can improve the lives of others is a model for us all. We dedicate this book to him and his successful recovery.
