The Montreal Holocaust Museum, M茅decins Sans Fronti猫res Canada, and the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invite you to a panel discussion on criminalizing refugees with Professor Fran莽ois Cr茅peau, Rachel Kiddell-Monroe and Hany Shokair. Laura-Julie Perreault, editorial writer for La Presse, will act as moderator.

While global forced displacements are hitting record highs, states have increasingly implemented restrictive measures as part of their security agenda that further criminalize migrants and asylum seekers. The criminalization of forced migration violates international refugee and human rights law. Furthermore, aid workers are banned from helping refugees, resulting in what NGOs have called the 鈥渃riminalization of solidarity.鈥�

Fran莽ois Cr茅peau is Full Professor and the Hans & Tamar Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law, at the Faculty of Law of 香蕉视频, as well as the Director of the McGill Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism. Pr Cr茅peau was the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Human Rights of Migrants from 2011 to 2017.
