Protecting the Right to Asylum in a Closing World: Reflecting on the 40th Anniversary of Refugee Rights Day

The Canadian Council for Refugees, the Centre for International Policy Studies and the Human Rights Research and Education Centre are hosting a panel discussion to commemorate Refugee Rights Day in Canada. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Singh Decision, which ruled that the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects the fundamental rights of refugees, including refugee claimants and their right to an oral hearing in the determination of their case.

In-person in Ottawa, and online via Zoom.
