Call for Papers: Reverse Strategic Litigation by Governments on Migrants’ Rights? 27-28 March 2025
Amsterdam Centre for Migration and Refugee Law (ACMRL) & Human Rights Discourse in Migration Societies (MeDiMi)
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the workshop “Reverse Strategic Litigation by Governments on Migrants’ Rights?” that will take place at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam on 27 and 28 March 2025.
The workshop focuses on the practices of Governments before human rights courts and committees in migration-related cases. Whereas migration has long looked like the last bastion of sovereignty,
1 developments in human rights law have given rise to successful claims raised by migrants and other social actors seeking to limit the Governmental power to control migration. Well-established instruments of migration control, such as expulsion or refusal of entry at the border, are no longer purely within the discretion of states.
2 However, Governments themselves are actors in the interpretation and litigation of human rights law before international Courts and treaty bodies – and as such are involved in the legal processes that shape human rights law as it relates to migration control.
If you are interested in participating in the workshop, please submit your abstract by 20 December 2024, 23:59 to [email protected] and [email protected] in an email with the subject “Reverse Strategic Litigation by Governments workshop”. The abstract should have 400 words maximum in a PDF file with your name, affiliation, and e-mail address.
