Five questions by Elizabet Ferris regarding Sryrian crisis:

  1. How do we protect asylum space? 
  2. Is it time to reconsider the question of camps for refugees? 
  3. How can the civilian nature of refugee camps be maintained? 
  4. Is it time to reconsider the word ‘host?’ 
  5. Finally, how do we recognize the security implications posed by the presence of refugees while continuing to affirm their basic rights?
