Joint project
PROTECT - The rights to international protection: a pendulum between globalization and nativization?
Funder: European Union
Period: 2020-2023
URI: https://cordis.europa.eu/project/id/870761
Abstract:
Rights, governance and public recognition
The growth of right-wing populist parties significantly transformed the political context of the refugee and migrant hosting countries. Combined with the recent massive refugee and migrant influxes, the international protection system based on international law risks entering into decline, slowing governments' interventions and limiting NGO contributions. The EU-funded PROTECT project will study the dimensions of the international protection system in order to estimate the challenges and opportunities posed by the UN's Global Compact for Migration. It will study the existing political context and estimate the impacts of Global Compacts on the legal framework, and on the public recognition of the right of refugees to international protection.
