The ESIL Interest Group on Migration and Refugee Law is organising an online event on 15 April 2021 on the theme of “Understanding solidarity under international and EU refugee law: between a rock and a hard place?” The event will be held in the framework of the 2021 ESIL Research Forum hosted by the University of Catania (“Solidarity: The Quest for Founding Utopias of International Law”).

This year’s theme of the ESIL Research Forum concerns the role of solidarity in the fabric of international law as well as in its different branches of law. The IG MigRefLaw will pick up this topic by focusing on solidarity in the context of migration, notably this concept’s meaning and functions under international and EU refugee law.
