Human Rights of Migrants, COVID 19 and the ECHR

Webinar

2 June 2020

5 pm CET/4 pm BTS

Governments all around the world have imposed immobility and social distancing measures as a way to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, yet responses in migration control have been highly varied. While some borders and ports are closed, and some states have halted deportations and detention, other continue to deport unwanted migrants while they import seasonal workers. What implications does the pandemic and the responses thereto have for the human rights of migrants and refugees within and outside the borders of Europe? Does the European Court of Human Rights establish adequate standards to protect the human rights of migrants and refugees in the context of COVID 19? Is the CJEU affording better protection, while the ECtHR indulges’ states migration control prerogatives? This webinar brings together legal experts to discuss the recent caselaw, including the recently delivered MN v. Belgium judgment.
