NEW REPORT BY GEORGETOWN LAW STUDENTS
"Refugee Crisis in America: Iraqis and Their Resettlement Experience" is the culmination of nine months of research by a team of Georgetown Law students who examined and assessed the United States’ policies, practices, and legal framework with regard to the resettlement of Iraqi refugees. Through this project, researchers conducted extensive interviews with refugees, policy makers, state refugee coordinators, and NGOs in Washington D.C., Detroit, San Diego, and Amman, Jordan. The project was proposed and designed by members of the student group Georgetown Human Rights Action, and carried out in partnership with the Human Rights Institute.
