The Global Cop-Out on Refugees:Why the World Needs a Bold Plan to Save Refugee Protection

Register Now

The global refugee protection system is in crisis. Refugees are too often forced to risk their lives in order to access safety; most refugees are ‘warehoused’ rather than being able to lead independent lives; the burdens and responsibilities of protection are unpredictable and fall disproportionately on the world’s poorest countries. In this talk, Professor Hathaway offers his vision of a practical yet principled way out of the current morass.
