Forced Migration Projects
Website: http://www.soros.org/fmp2/index.html

A multitude of ethnic tensions and hostilities have resulted in substantial population displacements in the countries of the former Soviet Union. With over 130 ethnic groups in the former Soviet Union, and nationalism, secessionist movements, and discriminatory measures in evidence, the potential for further dislocation is enormous. The Forced Migration Projects are action-oriented programs that monitor circumstances in the 15 countries that emerged or re-emerged after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, in order to warn of forced movements and identify conditions that may cause such dislocations, including armed conflict, human rights violations, economic underdevelopment, environmental degradation, and other failures of governance.
