What is the Future of International Legal Order Series: "Displacement, the Right of Asylum, the Need to Migrate"When: March 5 (6:00-8:00 p.m.) Where: 125 Frick Fine Arts (Auditorium) This month, inspired by the 75th anniversary of the Geneva Refugee Convention, the series turns its attention to questions of migrant and refugee rights. With more than 122 million people displaced worldwide in 2025, we face conditions we have not experienced since the end of World War II. Along with this record number of people fleeing war and conflict, there are further millions who have set out to find a better life for themselves and their families. Often classified as economic migrants, they are also subject to aggression in their new countries of residence: the ICE actions in the US currently represents the most visible backlash migrants confront worldwide. Join in a discussion with experts in our community to consider where we are, who we are, and what we can do.
