Controls and Hospitality. Towards Migration Policies which Strengthen Contemporary Democracy.
 |
 |
 |
Topic
The symposium questions international migration law and policies in light of the evolution of contemporary democracies. As the title says, controls and hospitality are put on an equal footing to demonstrate the need to overcome a logic of opposition, of confrontation between these notions. As for the dialectic between sovereignty and human rights, it is necessary to explore possible ways of reconciling controls and hospitality. This Symposium is the result of the International Francqui Professor Chair awarded to Pr. François Crépeau.
François Crépeau (McGill, Canada)
Holder of the Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law, at the Faculty of Law of McGill University, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants from 2011 to 2017, François Crépeau is at the Université Catholique de Louvain from January to June 2018 as part of the International Francqui Professor Chair for Human Sciences, organised in collaboration with seven Belgian universities (UCLouvain, KULeuven, UAntwerpen, UGent, ULiège, USt-Louis Brussels, ULBrussels).
