Sinopsis:

Current Issues on Transnational Migration Law:In this podcast episode we are hosting Gamze Ovacık, 
a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism McGill University Faculty of Law with a specialization on international migration and asylum law. She shares with us her insights on the trajectory of the global migration and asylum regime as dominated by the Global North, characterized by externalisation policies that prioritize the containment of human mobility at the expense of human rights. We discuss one example of such policies, the safe third country concept, and its implementation in Colombia-USA, Canada-USA and EU-Turkey contexts. Together with other contributions from different geographies, this research will feature in the blog series “Beyond Safety: Safe Country Concepts in Global Asylum Practices” planned to be launched in October at the Externalising Asylum website, an initiative of the Refugee Law Initiative Externalisation Working Group.
