THE GLOBAL REFUGEE COMPACT AND ITS CONSEQUENCES FOR REFUGEE PROTECTION

The PROTECT Consortium invites to a debate about the possible consequences of the United Nations’ Global Refugee Compact and the Global Migration Compact on international refugee protection. In this conference, while marking and celebrating the launch of PROTECT, we will discuss and seek ways of answering the following questions:
- Is it realistic to expect that the Global Compacts can be implemented as anticipated under the current political circumstances?
- Under which conditions is a successful implementation of the Global Compact on Refugees possible?
- What are the possible links between the two Global Compacts and other sources of refugee law?
- Which global governance architectures are needed to respond to the requirements of the Global Refugee Compact?
- How will the two compacts affect the public recognition of the right to international protection?
- How can the European Union contribute to the Global Compact processes?
