Thematic Focus: Law/Policy Items

News:

Today is the 50th anniversary of the Declaration on Territorial Asylum. Thanks to Klaus Neumann for bringing this to our attention with his recent piece in Inside Story entitled "In the Spirit of International Solidarity." A brief summary reads, "The bid to create a UN convention on territorial asylum might have failed, but it points to possibilities still worth pursuing."
