RECEPTION AND INAUGURAL SEMINAR
4th INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE LAW SERIES
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to invite you to the inaugural Seminar of the RLI '4th International Refugee Law' Seminar Series on 16th October 2013 at 5.30pm.
The Right to Seek and Obtain Asylum under the African Human Rights System
In this seminar, Dr Chaloka Beyani will be presenting and discussing the results of his research into the right to seek and obtain asylum under the African human rights instruments. Dr. Beyani's Seminar will be followed by a reception.
The use of international human rights machinery to protect refugees has acquired an important dimension in recent years. This is true of both the United Nations treaty body system and the African, European and Inter-American regional systems of human rights. The result is a dynamic international invigoration of traditional refugee law that, in contradistinction, tends to be applied at the level of national courts and tribunals. Yet the precise role of human rights in the protection of refugees is sometimes viewed with suspicion and uncertainty. This seminar provides a valuable insight into the use of human rights in the protection of refugees through the prism of the African Human Rights System.
