Law Library: News & Events: Join Us Thursday for a Webinar - Illegal Migration in the Central and Western Mediterranean from the Perspective of International and Domestic Law

Join us this Thursday, February 10, at 2:00 p.m. EST for this month’s Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar - Illegal Migration in the Central and Western Mediterranean from the Perspective of International and Domestic Law. This entry in the series, led by foreign law specialist George Sadek, will discuss the main instrument of international law regulating the issue of illegal migration, which is the UN Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. It will highlight the scope of application of the Protocol and will talk about how the Protocol regulates the criminal liability of smuggled migrants and the cooperation among member states to curb the problem. The webinar will discuss the problem of illegal migration from four Arab North African countries in the central and western shores of the Mediterranean Sea: Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, and Morocco. The webinar will also address the legal measures adopted by each of these four countries to combat this ongoing problem. Finally, the webinar will discuss the detention conditions in the centers for illegal migration in Libya.
