Refugee status determination: Law and practice

This second event to launch the fourth edition of 'The Refugee in International Law', by Guy S Goodwin-Gill and Jane McAdam (together with Emma Dunlop) was held on 9 November 2021. In this webinar, Guy S Goodwin-Gill and Emma Dunlop discuss the practice of refugee law today, in a discussion with Arif Hussein of the Refugee Advice and Casework Service (RACS).

How is refugee status determined around the world amid changing social pressures? What are the trends in protection in different jurisdictions? What legal questions arise when restrictive policies mean that access to asylum is blocked, rights are curtailed, and people cannot access fair status determination procedures?
