Migration, Refugees and International Law: Spring Meeting 2016

Posted on 26 May 2016 by KNVIR Posted in Events, Spring Meeting

On Wednesday 25 May 2016 the Spring Meeting was held in The Hague on the subject:

 

MIGRATION REFUGEES AND INTERNATIONAL LAW

Drs. Bram van Ojik
Special Envoy for Migration,
 Netherlands
Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Mr. Flip Schüller
Lawyer at Prakken d’Oliveira,
Amsterdam

and

Dr. Hans van Loon
Former Secretary-General of the Hague Conference on 
Private International Law

Asylum, migration and refugee issues dominate the news, and confront the community of international lawyers with pertinent questions as to clashes between political pragmatism, required given the magnitude of the problems at hand, and the obligation to live up to international law.  The KNVIR devoted its annual Spring meeting to this particular topic by organising a discussion among the Special Envoy for Migration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and two legal specialists, together representing the two ‘branches’ of the KNVIR:  Public and Private International Law.  The meeting also commemorated the late KNVIR Treasurer Dr. Peter J. van Krieken, who was a specialist in this field as well.
