Protect: The Right to International Protection [access]
- The Protect Project is coming to an end. Their aim has been 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." Preprint and working papers can be accessed here and policy briefs here.
