Prof. Meili Presents Research on Human Rights Treaties at Oxford University

Professor Steve Meili presented his research comparing asylum jurisprudence and practice in the United States and Canada at Oxford University's North American Center, which is based at St. Antony's College. Meili's talk was part of a larger study analyzing the impact of international human rights treaties in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the United States. On the basis of quantitative and qualitative data, he identified several of the factors that determine whether such treaties help or hurt asylum-seekers in individual cases.
