Access to Refugee Status Determination in Latin America

Event Information
Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 12:00 pm
Washington Office on Latin America,1666 Connecticut Ave NW, Suite 400 Washington, DC 20009
Event Link

Currently, hundreds of thousands of refugees live in Latin America from countries in the region and other parts of the world. Please join the Washington Office on Latin America, Asylum Access, and the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants for this presentation of their report on the refugee status determinations in Latin America. The event will focus on five countries in the region with the objective of discussing regional standards, commitments, challenges, and best practices. The report, a joint effort of four NGOs in the region,* seeks to open a dialogue over strengthening due process and asylum systems in the region. The report focuses on national systems of refugee status determination in five countries—Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador and Mexico—and provides a review of national frameworks, especially due process, access to information, appeals mechanisms, and abbreviated processes of determination of refugee status. The study of experiences and national legislation in these countries creates an opportunity to discuss national systems’ best practices and challenges that could benefit a regional dialogue. Speakers: Ana White,U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants; and Karina Sarmiento, Asylum Access Ecuador

ASIL-UNA SERIES (Three of Three): Support for the Syrian Insurgency: What UN and International Norms Apply?

Event Information
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
ASIL Headquarters, Tillar House
Washington, DC

Time: 12:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. (Lunch provided) What legal constraints does the United States face in providing greater support to Syrian insurgents? Does it make a difference if the support, without Syrian government consent or UN Security Council approval, comes in the form of provision of non-lethal assistance to the rebels or the supply of arms or the establishment of a no-fly zone? Can the United States and its NATO allies rely on the Kosovo precedent to act without Security Council authorization? Do the United Nations Charter prohibitions found in Article 2(4) require reinterpretation in light of past precedent and the evolution of the responsibility-to-protect doctrine? What learning stems from the Libya experience? Can the United States and other nation-states lawfully achieve by secret intelligence operations what they cannot undertake openly? Does the Syria experience to date, with over an estimated 70,000 civilian fatalities, offer broader lessons about the functioning and future relevance of the UN Security Council? Davis Robinson of the International Dispute Resolution Group at Crowell & Moring will moderate this panel comprised of Ashley Deeks, University of Virginia Law School; Mona Yacoubian, Stimson Center; and Allan Gerson, AG International Law to discuss these issues. This event is the final of three in a series, cosponsored by the American Society of International Law and the United Nations Association of the National Capital Area's International Law Committee, to address the issue of the use of force.
