ABOUT THE COURSE
The issue of statelessness has risen considerably on the agenda of the United Nations, regional institutions, governments and civil society. There is also an increasing body of theoretical and empirical research looking at citizenship and lack thereof from various perspectives. It is within this context that the Refugee Studies Centre offers its fourth short course on statelessness and international law, aiming to examine the causes, consequences and remedies for statelessness around the globe.
This two day, non-residential course will be participative and interactive, involving workshops, case studies and lectures by some of the leading experts in this field. The course will include a review of recent developments in empirical research on the causes and consequences of statelessness, new statelessness procedures (in the UK and elsewhere), and jurisprudence on deprivation of nationality.
The course will also cover various thematic areas, including an overview of statelessness today; gender discrimination and statelessness; the politics and ethics of statelessness; the international legal framework governing statelessness; and UNHCR's statelessness work. Case studies will be drawn from selected regions in Africa, Europe, the Middle East or Southeast Asia.
This programme qualifies for Continuing Professional Development with the Solicitors Regulation Authority (CPD SRA) in the United Kingdom.
