(B)OrderS Workshop: Access to International Protection and the Externalisation of Asylum...

The (B)OrderS: Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration at Queen Mary University of London, the Centre for Fundamental Rights at the Hertie School of Governance, iCourts: The Danish National Research Foundation’s Centre of Excellence for International Courts at the University of Copenhagen, and QMUCU: the University and College Union Queen Mary branch, invite you to a joint workshop on Access to International Protection and the Externalisation of Asylum, as part of a series of regional and thematic launches of The Oxford Handbook of International Refugee Law (OUP, 2021) and QMUCU initiatives during the local strike period. This event brings together select contributors to the Handbook and leading scholars for a discussion on a key challenge in international refugee law. It will highlight the obstacles faced by refugees globally in obtaining access to asylum and the ways in which the multiple forms of extraterritorial migration control continue to render access to protection increasingly more dangerous. Speakers will explore State practices that prize extraterritorial migration control and deterrence over refugee protection in different national and regional contexts. The discussion will chart international refugee law’s response to these practices and its role in resisting such policies against the normalisation of hostility vis-à-vis asylum seekers in public discourse and public spaces more broadly. The event features input from two Handbook contributors: Prof. Thomas Gammeltoft-Hansen (‘Extraterritorial Migration Control and Deterrence’ co-authored with Dr Nikolas Feith Tan) and Prof. Violeta Moreno-Lax (‘Protection at Sea and the Denial of Asylum’), followed by responses from three leading experts in the field: Dr Daniel Ghezelbash (Macquarie University), Dr Alice Nah (University of York), and Dr Benjamin Ng’aru (East African Centre for Forced Migration and Displacement). Prof. Cathryn Costello (Hertie Centre for Fundamental Rights and co-editor) and Dr Ruth Fletcher (QMUCU) will moderate the discussion.
