ABOUT THE CONFERENCE

Refugee law is now a cornerstone of the practice of human rights law in
Ireland.  This conference will examine all the main areas of refugee law
practice, procedural and substantive.

The Treaty of Amsterdam created a new objective for the European Union -
the creation of an "area of freedom, security and justice."  In creating
that area, EC asylum law is being harmonised, with serious implications for
refugee protection in Europe.  This conference will provide one of the
first opportunities to consider the implications of the evolving EC policy.

This conference is a must for all those involved in refugee law and policy,
in particular legal practitioners; policy- and decision-makers and all
those concerned about refugee policy.
