In this webcast, Cornell experts will examine how migrant stereotypes, discrimination, and xenophobia drive the militarization of borders and the ways in which migrant rights are — or are not — allowed and respected. Using insights from the first global Migrants’ Rights Database, the panel will explore how effectively states are protecting migrants' rights and complying with international law. They’ll also discuss how new research using these data offer crucial public policy evidence for developing an international law to protect all migrants.
