A special session for the 2020 Kaldor Conference: New frontiers of refugee law in a closed world.

Join Michael Ignatieff, President and Rector, Central European University,  Gillian Triggs, UN Assistant High Commissioner for Protection, and Sultan, a Saudi journalist who is seeking asylum in Australia, for some critical thinking on critical issues.

People around the world have shown solidarity that few had experienced before the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, societies are revealing a growing nationalism and a shrinking space for human rights defenders; trust in institutions is waning; journalism is being hollowed out; and a crude, angry and often misinformed social media is standing in as our public discourse

How do we advance human rights – including for refugees – amid all this?

Our panel of leading thinkers will debate the courses we can take through these challenges
