Human Rights and Justice in Immigration – Jerusalem

The Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is organizing an international conference, Human Rights and Justice in Immigration: National and International Perspectives [pdf]. It will be held May 25-27, 2009. The call for papers deadline is Sept. 1, 2008.

The Minerva Center for Human Rights at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem is organizing an international conference designed to examine various normative aspects of immigration regimes with an emphasis on the Israeli immigration regime. The conference will examine actual arrangements for immigration in Israel and other countries, and will explore what could be considered desirable universal arrangements for immigration, taking into account the cultural as well as the economic interests of both potential immigrants and their hosts.

The conference will be the culmination of the work of an interdisciplinary research group on these issues, which has been working together at the Minerva Center since early 2007.
