This course offers students a comprehensive introduction to the key dimensions of international and European asylum law, focusing on how these legal frameworks interact through a doctrinal approach, case law analysis, and structured classroom debates. By the end of the seminar, students will have a solid understanding of core topics such as the principle of non-refoulement, refugee status determination, asylum procedures, and irregular migration. They will also be equipped to critically engage with contemporary legal challenges affecting the protection of refugees and asylum seekers, including issues such as the relationship between gender and asylum, as well as the legal implications of climate-induced displacement.
