The asylum law lecture provides a comprehensive overview of the asylum and refugee legal system in international and European law. It focuses mainly on legal history, the 1951 Geneva Convention, the Common European Asylum System, and the challenges of refugee protection. After a general presentation, the lecture will mostly focus on the compatibility between the international and European rules of protection, and the current context of massive forced migrations. The aim is indeed to question first the relevance, soundness and durability of international and European laws, and second to explore the legal paradigms of protection. The goals of the seminar are to give the students a broad view of the asylum system, working both on knowledge and critical understanding.
