Initiative

Global Strategic Litigation Council for Refugee Rights

Regional Consultations

The Global Strategic Litigation Council is co-convening a series of regional consultations to create knowledge-sharing and collaboration spaces. The purpose of these in-person consultations is to bring together key litigators, advocates, refugee leaders, academics and organizations working to advance refugee and migrant rights through strategic litigation and legal advocacy in the region.

These events allow participants to build partnerships, strengthen their network, learn new strategies, and discuss and refine a vision for strategic litigation work in their region and beyond. To date, they have taken place in: 

  • East Africa – Nairobi, January 2023 (co-hosted with Kituo Cha Sheria)
  • Central America – Mexico City, March 2023 (co-hosted with Asylum Access Mexico)
  • South America – Bogota, March 2023 (co-hosted with Refugiados Unidos)
  • Europe – Warsaw, September 2023 (co-hosted with the International Detention Coalition)
  • Asia Pacific –Bangkok, August 2024 (co-hosted with Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network and the United Nations Office of Human Rights)
