Prof. Meili Presents Research at Two Conferences in Peru

Professor Stephen Meili presented his research on the constitutionalization of human rights law and its implications in Latin America at two recent conferences in Peru. The first was held in Cusco on October 25, sponsored by Pontificia Universidad Catolica del Peru and the second was held in Lima on October 28, sponsored by Universidad del Pacifico. At each of these events, Prof. Meili discussed his research into strategic litigation in Mexico on behalf of refugees from Central America and Venezuela that has utilized recently enacted constitutional human rights provisions, including the right to asylum. He also discussed the possible implications of these developments in Peru, which—like Mexicoh—has recently experienced a dramatic increase in asylum applications and whose national constitution contains many human rights provisions.
