DESCRIPTION:The Montreal Holocaust Museum\, Médecins Sans Frontières Canada
 \, and the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism invite you to a pan
 el discussion on criminalizing refugees with Professor François Crépeau\, 
 Rachel Kiddell-Monroe and Hany Shokair. Laura-Julie Perreault\, editorial 
 writer for La Presse\, will act as moderator.\n\nWhile global forced displ
 acements are hitting record highs\, states have increasingly implemented r
 estrictive measures as part of their security agenda that further criminal
 ize migrants and asylum seekers. The criminalization of forced migration v
 iolates international refugee and human rights law. Furthermore\, aid work
 ers are banned from helping refugees\, resulting in what NGOs have called 
 the “criminalization of solidarity.”\n\nRegister on Eventbrite to get your
  ticket.\n\nFrançois Crépeau is Full Professor and the Hans & Tamar Oppenh
 eimer Chair in Public International Law\, at the Faculty of Law of 91˿����Ƶ
