I argue that the Roundtable was a crucial site of norm contestation on queer refugee intersectionality and inclusion within the global refugee policy regime, particularly among stakeholders grounded in two interconnected, mutually responsive policy ecosystems: (1) refugee rights and assistance and (2) LGBTIQþ human rights. Through an intersectional queer feminist understanding of complex adaptive systems, I show how Roundtable stakeholders constructively challenged precepts of impartiality, neutrality, and a charity model of needs-based humanitarianism. Finally, I propose several ways to effectively innovate the international norms that will impact LGBTIQþ refugees, asylum seekers, internally displaced people, and stateless people in coming years.

Our mission is to serve as a leading educational and research-based organization, providing up-to-date information and analysis of many of the current topics in international development law and policy. It is our hope that our publication can add to the ongoing dialogue and debates and inspire environmental, social and economic justice to impoverished people in developing countries. We are committed to assisting in finding solutions to current issues in the developing world through consultations, research and analysis of the impacts of legal and institutional frameworks. Our intent is to go beyond law and policy and to include ethical, economic and scientific approaches to our analysis. We hope readers will gain greater understanding and insights through our current and future publications.
