Centre for International Law Event: Discussion on The Common European Asylum System and the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration

27 September 2022, 5.00 PM - 27 September 2022, 7.00 PM

Room 3.1, Lincoln’s Inn Fields, Centre for Commercial Law Studies, Queen Mary University of London or online

The Centre for International Law at the University of Bristol and the (B)OrderS: Centre for the Legal Study of Borders and Migration at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) invite you to a discussion on The Common European Asylum System and the UN Compacts on Refugees and for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration celebrating the launch of the related Handbook for Practitioners on Tuesday 27 September 2022.

In this discussion, the Handbook authors - Professor Elspeth Guild (QMUL), Dr Kathryn Allinson (University of Bristol), Dr Nicolette Busuttil (University of Westminster) and Dr Maja Grundler (Royal Holloway University of London) - will examine how EU Member states (and associated states) can apply the CEAS in a manner consistent with GCM and Global Compact on Refugees (GCR) commitments. This will be followed by responses from three leading experts in the field: Dr Madeline Garlick (UNCHR), Professor Violeta Moreno-Lax (QMUL) and Ms Catherine Woollard (ECRE). The discussion will explore the areas where the CEAS is coherent with commitments made in the Compacts, but also where there are tensions. In so doing, it will provide scholarly and policy perspectives on the ways in which practitioners and civil society actors, identified as key stakeholders in the GCM, can improve the CEAS’s consistency with the GCR and GCM and improve the enjoyment of rights in practice by refugees within the EU.
