In collaboration with the Italian Embassy and the Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Stockholm, SIPRI will host a panel event on refugees and migration.
Today there are 60 million refugees worldwide and 10 million stateless persons. What can be done about the conflicts that keep generating more displacement? What is the impact in Europe of the insecurity and danger that drives people from their homelands? What are Europe's responsibilities?
