Over the course of 2001, the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) implemented over 150 projects in 50 countries, projects intended above all to provide refugees with the necessary means for eventual reintegration in their own countries.

After the criminal attacks in the US on September 11, the treatment of forcibly displaced people deteriorated, with an erosion of social protection in many countries. At the same time, some steps were taken to build co-operation among nations to protect refugees.
