DATE AND TIME Thu 9 August 2018 10:00 – 16:30 IST LOCATION School of History Seminar Room K114 Newman Building University College Dublin Belfield View Map<https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/refugee-rights-in-records-symposium-tickets-47591668963#map-target> In late 2016 the United Nations (UN) estimated that the numbers of forcibly displaced persons had exceeded more than 65.6 million people worldwide. Displacement crises raise complex interacting issues about nation-states, laws, borders, human rights, citizenship and identity, security, resource allocation and information and communication technologies (ICT). Integral to this complexity, documentation and particularly official records are pervasive and fundamental yet somehow rarely conspicuous. The symposium will bring together speakers from a range of backgrounds: people with experience of coming to Ireland as refugees and asylum seekers, those who assist and advocate for them and record keepers and archivists who manage the official records of the process. This event is one of a series of workshops taking place across the globe in 2018 to highlight the issues linked to rights in records for refugees and asylum seekers.
