Prof. Meili Delivers Lecture on Human Rights Treaties at Harvard Law School

Professor Stephen Meili discussed the ways that lawyers in Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States utilize international human rights treaties in their advocacy on behalf of asylum-seekers and other refugees. His research is based on interviews with lawyers, as well as analysis of published asylum decisions over the past two decades, in all three countries. Meili's lecture was jointly sponsored by Harvard's Program on the Legal Profession and Immigration and Refugee Clinical Program. Meili's research is supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the Robina Foundation.
