The issue of migrants convicted or suspected of serious criminality is one that has been high on the media and political agenda in the UK in the last two decades. This paper focuses on three categories of (suspected) criminal migrants - foreign national offenders, individuals considered to pose a security risk and those excluded from refugee status under Article 1F of the Refugee Convention - outlining the scale and demographic of these groups in the UK, governmental measures taken to facilitate their removal and the consequences for those that nevertheless remain. This examination reveals that, despite the UK's emphasis on removal, legal obstacles and administrative problems continue to frustrate many attempts to remove such persons. As a result, large numbers of individuals are released into the community or remain in detention for often prolonged periods of time. In the case of excluded asylum-seekers, these individuals are subject to an extremely precarious form of leave. The result is these 'undesirable' migrants remain in a form of 'limbo', with no firm legal status and the prospect of removal ever present. If the emphasis remains on removal rather than looking to alternative in-country solutions that are more than temporary in nature, a viable solution to this issue is likely to remain elusive.

Humanitarian accountability has been the subject of increased attention in recent years. However, examination of how its principles and practices play out in displacement contexts is an under-explored area. In this Editorial, we outline the development of humanitarian accountability standards and practice, with particular focus on their applicability to displacement contexts. As we refer to and introduce the papers of this special issue, we reflect on positive developments and the challenges remaining. It is a particularly prescient time to reflect on the 'state of play' of accountability in this sector, given it is five years since the adoption of the Grand Bargain and the "Participation Revolution", through which stakeholders undertook to increase the relevance and efficiency of humanitarian response by giving prominence to affected populations' participation in decisions which affect their lives. Despite these commitments, however, true progress is hampered by entrenched power imbalances. In the pyramid of power relations which denote the power to influence programming, displaced populations remain at the bottom, often unheard and silenced. Yet, only when displaced communities are able to influence the kind of aid they receive, can humanitarian responses truly address their needs and pave the way for more secure, protected and resilient communities.
