Date: 

Tuesday, March 31, 2020, 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Location: 

Wasserstein Hall, WCC 2012 Classroom, Harvard Law School

Please join the Human Rights Program for a talk by Michael Doyle, University Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University. In this lecture, Professor Doyle will identify key features and justifications for a global convention on international mobility. Drafted by thirty-plus experts in refugee law, migration law, sociology, economics, and political science, the Model International Mobility Convention is a decade-long agenda for reform. It offers a comprehensive and cumulative set of rights and responsibilities from the minimal rights needed by international visitors on a short stay to the full set of rights needed by refugees who have lost their national rights in their countries of origin due to persecution. 

Speaker: Michael Doyle, University Professor at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University.

Discussant: Dorothy Estrada. Visiting Fellow, Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School. 

Sponsors: RCC; Human Rights Program at Harvard Law School.
