Program Title: Human Rights at the Margins: The Refugee Crisis and Other Emergencies in a Transatlantic Perspective
Date: Saturday January 9, 2016
Time: 8:30am-10:15am
Program Summary: The refugee crisis in the Mediterranean has been
rightly identified as the most serious legal and political challenge currently
facing Europe. The crisis calls into question the legal architecture of the
European Union and tests the limits of policy coordination among the member
states. It calls as well for a reassessment of human rights and classical
immigration law as frames for handling structural predicaments in the Global
South. The purpose of this panel, co-sponsored by the AALS Sections on International
Human Rights and International Law, is to engage US and EU legal scholars in a
discussion of ongoing legal responses to the Mediterranean crisis and similar
emergencies, with the goal of pointing at limitations and possibilities in
federal, supranational or international entities called to the rescue of the
lost at sea.
Panelists: Steve Peers, Essex University School of Law (UK);
Daniel Halberstam, University of Michigan; Gráinne de Búrca, New York
University (Discussant); Daniela Caruso, Boston University (Chair).
