‘Refugee Protection in a Hostile World?’
Third Annual Conference, Refugee Law Initiative, University of London
18 - 19 July 2018
https://rli.sas.ac.uk/annual-conference/third-annual-conference
We are pleased to release the draft programme for our Third Annual Conference. This year’s special theme – ‘Refugee Protection in a Hostile World?’ - reflects on an apparent strengthening of long-standing currents of anti-refugee feeling and other forms of instability in the world. This trend raises urgent questions about its present and future impact on refugee protection globally, as well as the interaction between global politics and refugee law.
Our keynote speakers for the event are:
E. Tendayi Achiume (Special Rapporteur on Contemporary forms of Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related Intolerance)
Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen (Raoul Wallenberg Institute)
Jean-François Durieux (former UNHCR Director of Operations)
The RLI Annual Conference ( https://rli.sas.ac.uk/annual-conference ) offers a dedicated annual forum internationally to share and debate the latest research and cutting-edge developments in refugee protection. This conference builds on the success of the previous annual conferences that united academics, practitioners, policy-makers and students in considering pressing challenges to refugee law.
This year the conference will be followed (on Friday 20 July) by a Special IDP Workshop https://rli.sas.ac.uk/annual-conference/third-annual-conference/special-workshop-%E2%80%98revitalising-idp-research
Registration is now open for the both events, available here https://rli.sas.ac.uk/events
