The Center for Migration Studies of New York (CMS) is hosting an event on its initiative, “Rethinking the Global Refugee Protection System." The event is free and open to the public with advanced registration. The event builds upon CMS’ three-day symposium last year with representatives from states, the UN system, supranational entities, academia, and leading non-governmental organizations on cutting-edge ideas to re-conceptualize and strengthen the global refugee protection system. In conjunction with the symposium, CMS commissioned papers on different aspects of the refugee protection system by leading scholars. These papers are part of a special edition of our public policy journal, the Journal on Migration and Human Security (JMHS), available at http://cmsny.org/cms-research/refugeeproject/. With the number of displaced in the world at an historically high level, and with more than 21 million refugees worldwide, experts featured in this event will discuss the challenges confronting the global refugee protection system, including US refugee policy, and offer possible reforms to the global and US refugee protection systems.
