Dear Friends,
Protecting Migrant Children: In Search of Best Practice, Elgar
Wednesday 21 November 2018, Ashurst LLP, London EC2, 6-8pm
This is to extend an invitation to a book launch, seminar and discussion on 21 November. With my apologies for any cross posting.
This seminar and book launch brings together experts from the United States, Europe and Australia to discuss the legal protection of vulnerable child migrants.
With unprecedented numbers of children on the move in search of safety, the editors/authors of Protecting Migrant Children explore the complex legal and human rights issues that arise when children cross borders as migrants. They critically examine the strengths and weaknesses of international and domestic laws with the aim of identifying best practice for migrant children.
In their new book, published by Edward Elgar Publishing, Professor Benson and Professor Crock have brought together an interdisciplinary and multinational group of experts to assess the nature and root causes of child migration in different parts of the world, featuring national and comparative case studies in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America.
In this seminar, one of London’s pre-eminent human rights barristers and scholars, Dr Jason Pobjoy, authors and editors (Benson & Crock), contributor (Syd Bolton) and highly respected Senior Lawyer, Nuala Mole, examine the many challenges experienced and posed by young people who cross borders in search of protection or a better quality of life. Identifying the many universal issues facing states who play host to these children, they look at the new paradigms in law, policy and practice that are emerging in the reception and management of child migrants, refugees and victims of trafficking.
I very much hope that you can join us. Please RSVP to Hannah at Ashurst - [log in to unmask]
