Summary: | A video-taped discussion about migration hosted by Arthur Helton and Anne Bayefsky, conducted with two eminent legal scholars, Professor Louis Henkin and Professor Oscar Schachter, both of whom have contributed substantially to the development of international human rights law. The one-hour video examines universal human rights standards and their implementation. Both scholars focus on the gaps in existing frameworks, discussing how rights provisions are often not upheld in practice and how asylum seekers and aliens are still being detained, turned away, or denied asylum due to bureaucratic indifference, even by well-intentioned governments.
