Lunchtime Seminar
‘Safe Zones: An International Lawyer's Perspective’
Dr Bríd Ní Ghráinne, Faculty of Law, Masaryk University
Monday 25th November 2019
Venue: Seminar Room, Irish Centre for Human Rights
Time: 1-2pm
About the seminar:As the numbers of displaced persons generated by the Syrian conflict rises, and the political will to accept refugees falls, it is unsurprising that Turkey is moving towards the establishment of a safe zone in Syria. This seminar will introduce the project ‘Safe Zones and International Law’, a two-year research project, which aims to provide the first comprehensive legal analysis of safe zones in international law. It will identify how and when safe zones can be legally established; their relationship with refugee, human rights, and international law; and how states’ legal obligations can be monitored and enforced in safe zones.
All welcome!
