PROTECT Expert Forum, ‘Protection Issues and Solutions for LGBTIQ+ People in Contexts of Forced Displacement’, 15 and 22 September 2021
Abstract
This Expert Forum explores how the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (GCM) affects the rights of refugees and other protection-seeking migrants. Key issues are the role of the GCM in providing alternative pathways to protection, its relevance for economic and social rights independent of a protection status, as well as its potential to strengthen the rights of protection-seeking migrants in the context of immigration detention. The forum brings together a wide range of scholars and practitioners involved in the global governance of migration and the international protection regime.
