Migration, Refugees, and International Law
Crises regarding migration and refugees exist, persist, and are deepening around the world. There is a wide consensus that the international legal framework around refugees, developed largely at the end of World War II, is not adequate to address current and ongoing crises, including with respect to internally displaced persons, migrants, and those displaced by climate change. At the same time, this existing legal framework faces challenges of enforcement on its own terms, as countries can resist carrying out their obligations even to individuals who meet the definition of refugee under the 1954 Convention.
This spotlight brings together recent contributions to all the ASIL publications relating to migration, refugees, and international law.
