‘Refugee Diplomacy: Negotiating protection in a changing world’ – Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law Annual Conference, 23 Nov 2018
Foreign policy bears directly on refugee policy. Today both policy agendas are feeling the twin pressures of nationalism and globalisation, and the long-prevailing rules based order is now contested. What does this mean for people seeking protection? What does it mean for the international legal regime that has governed refugee movements since the Second World War, finding solutions for millions of displaced people, even as millions more now face an uncertain future in protracted situations? Can international dialogue promote better cooperation and accountability for protecting the world’s displaced? How do international legal norms inform, and become shaped through, diplomatic negotiations? What are the prospects for protecting displaced people in the Asia-Pacific region, and what role does and can Australia play in this endeavour?
The Kaldor Centre Annual Conference on 23 November 2018 will bring Australian, regional and global thinkers to Sydney to explore the place of ‘refugee diplomacy’ in today’s turbulent world, and the interdependence of foreign and domestic policy agendas that impact refugees, asylum seekers and other forced migrants.
The keynote speaker is Anne Richard, former US Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees and Migration in the Obama Administration. She will be joined by a stellar line-up of experts to discuss this important topic.
