This report examines protection problems for Salvadorian refugees currently in Honduran border camps. It comprises eight chapters: Introduction and Conclusions; Overview; Repatriation; the UNHCR; Relocation; Border Incidents; Lessons for the Future; and, Behind the Scenes: the United States. Its findings are based on fieldwork carried out in 1984 and on subsequent research. The authors describe the recent history and current conditions of Salvadorian refugees and they note that there are 19,000 in Honduran border camps. The Honduran Government's proposal to repatriate the refugees in the light of the conflict situation in El Salvador is discussed as well as the role and activities of the UNHCR and US policy regarding them. The authors argue that the security of the refugees in the camps has deteriorated mainly because of a public campaign initiated by the US, Honduran and Salvadorian Governments which portrays the refugees as guerrilla supporters. The authors cite incidents of attacks and threats by armed men and military personnel against refugees and refugee personnel, noting that military patrols are undertaken near the border and in the camps themselves. The Honduran Government's policy of accelerated repatriation is criticized and the authors question its voluntary nature, given the conflict situation in El Salvador. In examining the limitations on the protection role of the UNHCR, the authors point out that: 1) Honduras has not ratified the 1951 UN Convention relating to the Status of Refugees nor its 1967 Protocol; 2) the Honduran Government occasionally refuses to let UNHCR reception centres near the border operate; and 3) the Honduran Government has frequently refused to cooperate with UNHCR following security incidents near refugee camps. The authors recommend that responsibility for ensuring that repatriation is voluntary should remain with the UNHCR and that this function should not be shared with any government authority or with the Intergovernmental Committee on Migration. They conclude that the greatest threat to the security of the refugees is posed by Honduran security forces.

Ten years ago thousands of men, women, and children from El Salvador fled to Honduras to escape government repression and violence. They gathered together into a refugee camp, Colomoncagua. What began as a disorganized collection of individuals would develop into a near-utopian community of 8,400 people. The refugees arrived as illiterate and frightened peasants with little experience with democratic institutions; within a few years they transformed the camp into an economically active, democratic, and participatory society. Steve and Beth Cagan tell the story of the refugees' harrowing flight, their determination to make a better life for themselves, and their brave decision to return to El Salvador. We learn of the refugees' successful efforts at developing education, occupational training, improved nutrition, health care, gender equality, and participatory democracyÐÐdespite extreme poverty and confinement and repression from the Honduran government. But even as they were creating a new life for themselves, the refugees were longing for their homeland, El Salvador. After long and complex negotiations with the governments of Honduras and El Salvador, the refugees repatriated, literally picking up their community and crossing over the border. There, in early 1990, they established a new city named for one of the slain Jesuit priests, Dr. Segundo Montes, where they hope to maintain their communitarian style of work and organization. This compelling story is illustrated with over one hundred superb photographs of the refugees and their community. The pictures and text work together, inspiring us to believe that people can sustain hope and can work to improve the conditions of their lives even in the worst circumstances.

The author of this thesis maintains that the mass media portray refugees as waiting hopelessly and helplessly in camps for aid and claims that these images provoke a feeling of impotence and despair in the public. In the early 1980's, thousands of Salvadoran peasants fled to neighbouring Honduras to escape the Salvadoran Government's 'scorched earth' policy. The majority were women, children or elderly; all were poor and uneducated and most were unskilled. The Honduran Government suspected them of being supporters of the FMLN, the Salvadoran armed opposition. However, it did not repatriate them by force, but instead made entry into Honduras difficult for them. Refugees were placed in three camps, Mesa Grande, Colomoncagua, and San Antonio, under the protection of the UNHCR, which was also responsible for assuring assistance. This was actually provided by five non-governmental humanitarian agencies. The author considers these refugees to be of interest since they were able to change their situation from one of basic survival to a developmental experience by learning new skills and constructing a new social model based on a collective and cooperative life style. Women particularly found their role and self-image profoundly changed. The refugees hope to contribute their new skills to their country's reconstruction and to the creation of a more just society on their return to El Salvador. The author examines the experiences of the refugees in Colomoncagua, the reasons for their flight, their arrival in Honduras, the construction of the camp, the development of work areas and the refugees' values, philosophy and social structures. She also considers the socio-political factors promoting this experiment, believing that the Colomoncagua camp can provide valuable lessons for future refugee work and a more positive and constructive image of refugee experience than is usually propagated.
