The participants will discuss a new volume in international migration law, "International Migration Law: Developing Paradigms and Key Challenges" (Cambridge University Press 2007).

The book analyzes critical emerging issues, such as the challenges posed by migration to state sovereignty and the protection of human rights as a result of the increasing tensions between anti-terrorism or security legislation and immigration measures; the impact of the use of biometrics technology to identify and better monitor international movements of persons; and enhanced cooperation on the European Union external border. The human rights of vulnerable groups of migrants, such as migrant workers, women, victims of trafficking, and stateless persons, are also examined.

This event is sponsored by Georgetown Law and the International Organization for Migration (IOM).

A Web cast will be available at https://www.law.georgetown.edu/webcast/.
