    The panel aims to analyze practices of border externalization and migration management in Europe and the United States that hollow out the right to seek asylum; threaten protections against refoulement, torture, and other human rights violations; and undermine the international system of refugee protection imagined by the 1951 Convention. Giving attention to the ongoing policies at the US southern border and the southern and eastern borders of Europe, panelists will inquire into the mobilizations by lawyers and civil society to challenge such policies in domestic and international courts and on the ground or on the sea.
