Description
Summary:This article explores the challenges faced by the NGOs managing the “Lebanon-France humanitarian corridors,” an asylum program created by Christian charities to relocate 500 future asylum seekers identified as “vulnerable.” Based on the private sponsorship of refugees by French citizens, and with the support of the French government, these humanitarian corridors shed light on the dynamics at play in the adaptation of international aid actors to the mainstream logic of aid and asylum management. This qualitative research explores the issues brought up by humanitarian actions that try to show openness, all the while accepting the dominant managerial and security paradigms. Thus, in the name of development, these NGOs contribute to (re)defining the categories of refugees that qualify for admission – the “desirables.”
