Right to citizenship seminar at Garden Court Chambers with Laurie Fransman QC and Adrian Berry, Thursday 23 April 2015, 18:30 – 20:00.
Part of our Fundamental Rights series, our panel of expert immigration and nationality lawyers will cover the following topics:
- Citizenship as a human right
- Deprivation of citizenship and exile as weapons in the ‘war on terror’: UK policy and practice
- The avoidance and elimination of statelessness in children: UK policy and practice
The seminar will examine the practical issues surrounding the ‘right to citizenship’. A key theme of the seminar is the extent to which the right to citizenship is a human right – alongside other rights at the centre of fundamental rights protection – in common law and human rights instruments.
We will examine the obligations on the UK to avoid and eliminate statelessness for migrant children and children born in the UK. Our speakers will consider current practice, the scope for exercising discretion to register children as British citizens in hard cases, and the need to extend legal protection to children otherwise stateless.
What is included?
- 1.5 CPD hours
- Talks prepared by leading public and immigration law experts
- Comprehensive notes for your future reference
- The opportunity to ask questions
- Refreshments
