Refugee and Asylum Law in Context

Warwick’s own Catherine Briddick, explores the recent controversial Small Boat Bill - and it’s clear defiance of our current understanding of international law and non-refoulement (the understanding that refugees should not be returned to their country of origin, and their site of persecution). Catherine will help attendees understand the gravity of this decision, how it may affect the world’s most vulnerable, and how students may use their voices to stop such a decision coming to fruition.
