This is a recording of a webinar held on 4 June 2020, co-hosted by the International Law Association (Australia) and the Andrew & Renata Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law.
What is changing in the so-called ‘new normal’, and what does it mean for the legal landscape facing refugees, people seeking asylum and other forced migrants?
Find out when two preeminent legal minds discuss the key issues:
Scientia Professor Jane McAdam, Director of UNSW’s Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, addresses the differential impact of the pandemic on displaced people and also considers the twin ‘crises’ of COVID-19 and climate change in the context of mobility in the Pacific region.
Assistant Secretary-General Gillian Triggs, UNHCR’s Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, considers how COVID-19 has undermined the fundamental norms of human rights and refugee law as almost no other crisis has done, even as we reach the 70th anniversary of the Refugee Convention.
