Abstract:The international refugee crisis in 2016 is not much different from that of 2015，but there are some regional progresses. The “high fever” of the European refugee crisis is brought down； there is a historic breakthrough in Colombian peace talks； the refugee crisis gains unprecedented attention of the international community which reaches consensus on working together to tackle the crisis. But，if the international refugee crisis is viewed from a historical and comprehensive perspective，it is not difficult to see that these progresses are only glimpses of light through the overwhelming darkness and the crisis is still raging. Situations in other major sources of refugees，such as Africa，West Asia，and Southeast Asia，have become more complex and challenging. Western countries begin to gallop off from their responsibilities in the face of onerous challenges. Developing countries，which have been playing a key role in tackling this crisis，are close to their limits on accepting refugees and international institutions are powerless when it comes to refugee placement. The prospect of the crisis is bleak because the refugee crisis is not a top priority of the current international community and may become a leverage tool in the political power struggle，coupled with an increase in mutual distrust between refugees and governments and international organizations. The international refugee crisis may become a new normal.
