Monash University: Conference on ‘Access to asylum: Current challenges and future directions’ open for Early Bird Registration

The conference will be held at the Monash University Prato Centre in Italy on 29-30 May 2014. The aim of this international conference is to determine how best to safeguard the rights of asylum seekers in balance with the responsibilities of states. It will analyse relevant standards under regional instruments, international human rights law, and the 1951 Refugee Convention. The conference will examine current challenges faced by asylum seekers in gaining access to international refugee protection, the implications of state practices for the rights of refugees, the responsibilities of states and their impact upon refugee status determination procedures (RSD).

More details, including a list of speakers, plenary sessions, the conference programme, how to register, and accommodation issues, are available on the website. Early Bird registration offers a reduced fee, and is open until 3 March 2014.
