9./10.06.2016 Konferenz "Immigration, Citizenship, and Constitutional Identity: Germany in a Global Perspective" - Prof. Dr. Jürgen Bast, Gießen und Dr. Liav Orgad, Berlin
The conference seeks to discuss national, regional, and global challenges presented by international migration, as well as legal and ethical dilemmas that have arisen as a result of the current migrant/ refugee crisis. Specifically, the conference will: 1) explore whether it is justified to impose immigration restrictions in order to protect constitutional essentials; 2) examine how the EU can increase refugee protection and should govern the refugee/migrant crisis; and 3) address whether the current situation is an “international constitutional moment” for the promotion of a global compact on forced migration.
