Prof. Meili Presents Comparative Asylum Law Research at University of London

Professor Steve Meili discussed the impact of international human rights law on asylum jurisprudence at a seminar sponsored by the University of London's Institute for Advanced Legal Studies. Meili's talk, which was part of IALS's Refugee Law Initiative, summarized his research on the ways in which domestic courts in Canada rely on, or otherwise, reference human rights treaties in adjudicating the claims of refugees fleeing persecution. Meili's ongoing work in this area also includes empirical research in Australia, New Zealand, the U.K. and the U.S.
