The international community's efforts in post-war Bosnia, and especially the promotion of 'minority returns' under the Dayton Peace Accords, attempted to reverse the effects of ethnic cleansing and restore multiethnic communities. However, this process was only partially successful in reconstituting the pre-war multiethnic spatiality of Bosnia.
The Positive Peace Report 2020 emphasizes the importance of creating and sustaining peaceful societies through the development of positive peace, which is defined by attitudes, institutions, and structures that foster peace.

Refugees In the last 18 months, the U.S. has begun the process of resettling 60,000 Bhutanese refugees. This group of refugees has a couple of unique features that makes it a compelling story. This group comes from Bhutan, and are of Nepali origin, people who had settled in Bhutan decades ago. However, they were evicted from Bhutan in the 1990s, but Nepal has also refused to give them citizenship as well.
As a social worker, you should understand some of rights a refugee has under the law of the land and the international refugees' laws. For instance, under Article 33 of the Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, it spells out clearly that a refugee is supposed not to be returned to his/her mother country where his/her life or freedom may be at risk on account of his/her religion, race,
Ukrainian authorities have mobilized few resources to deal with migrant problems, though international organizations have been somewhat more helpful. (Popson & Ruble, 2001) However, the phenomenon of urban refugees is not always seen in negative light. There are a number of countries with large urban refugee populations that manage to deal with the refugees in a positive and generally effective manner. However, it must also be pointed out that these
