| 11 | Creative Commons | FMR 39 Dispossession and displacement in Libya | Inability to access pre-displacement housing, land and property poses a significant obstacle to the achievement of durable solutions for most IDPs in Libya.

| 5 | Creative Commons | FMR 39 Bordering on a crisis | While the phenomenon of 'mixed migratory flows' has long been recognised, this was the first time it applied to a large-scale displacement. It required a coordinated humanitarian response for a large and diverse group of displaced persons. | Guido Ambroso | 08 May 2013 |
| 4 | Creative Commons | FMR 39 Migration and revolution | The Arab Spring has not radically transformed migration patterns in the Mediterranean, and the label 'migration crisis' does not do justice to the composite and stratified reality. | Hein de Haas, Nando Sigona | 08 May 2013 |
