After seminal articles like 'Geopolitics of Refugee Studies' (1998) & 'Erosion of Refugee Protection' (2000), Journal of Refugee Studies just published a new piece by B.S. Chimni entitled 'Three approaches to the 1951 convention: The case for a dialectical approach'

From POV of neighbouring countries, admitting refugees from Gaza could be seen to undermine the goal of an overall solution—ideally a two-State solution—as the UN has promised, that is consistent with international law. See more in our explainer: bit.ly/3vOCFdx

Great resource.

Why should the latest #auspol migration bill be rejected? Our submission to the Australian Senate committee sets out the reasons. Jane McAdam Daniel Ghezelbash Tristan Harley Madeline Gleeson UNSW Law & Justice

📢So happy to share the publication of my book ‘Judging Refugees: Narrative and Oral Testimony in Refugee Status Determination’. Hard copies are still en route but it's officially released. Pls share w yr networks & msg me for the discount code if interested!…

This is excellent and thought-provoking. The idea of a 'stock refugee' expectation by decision-makers is so important and explains so much of what has been wrong with refugee status determination here in the United Kingdom.

Congratulations, Anthea Vogl!

When it comes to algorithms in decision-making, Daniel Ghezelbash says, the more significant the rights in question, the greater the need for transparency and accountability. #refugees UNSW Law & Justice LawSocietyNSW LSJ Online

Great view from tonight’s event, ‘After NZYQ’. Thanks to ⁦Baker McKenzie⁩ for hosting us.

Our Strategic Litigation Network lead, Anna Talbot, kicks off the conversation with ⁦Sanmati AK⁩ ⁦Human Rights Law Centre⁩, ⁦George Williams⁩ and Public Defender Paul Coady.

The post-NZYQ monitoring conditions can be a health concern – in one case, a man broke his curfew to go to hospital with what could have been a fatal stroke, in another an ankle bracelet was reducing blood flow of a man suffering diabetes, notes Sanmati AK

Intrusive orders are familiar in criminal law around bail, and judges are not at all squeamish about enforcing them, notes Paul Coady. George Williams notes that the speed & severity of #AfterNZYQ laws are not unlike the introduction of Aust's (about 100) counter-terrorism laws

If people pick the wrong cases to take to the High Court of Aus, it will determine the precedents and their strength, says George Williams, urging care and, if necessary, patience. #AfterNZYQ
