Protect: The Right to International Protection - Project Deliverables (July 2021) [access]
- This project aims to "study the impacts of the UN's Global Compacts on Refugees and Migration, which are two non-binding frameworks promoting international cooperation and responsibility-sharing as key solutions to handle global refugee flows. By studying how the Compacts are received and implemented in different countries, and how they interact with existing legal frameworks and governance architectures, we investigate the Compacts' impact on refugees' right to international protection." Protect's first three deliverables have been posted; they focus on theory, research design and the overall framework for the project.
