The Compass: One Hundred Years of Exile

One Hundred Years of Exile

One hundred years after the first modern refugee crisis, Katy Long considers how much has changed.

In the aftermath of World War One, as Turkey filled with refugee fleeing a brutal civil war, the first refugee camps appeared and the international community stepped in to appoint the first High Commissioner for Refugees.

In this series for The Compass, Katy Long examines three key questions about how much has changed. First, the debate over who is a refugee; then what the rest of the world owes to refugees; and finally how refugee crises end (or don't).

As she sets about doing so, she hears stories from refugees and those who work to support them from Rwanda to Russia, and Israel to Paraguay.
