Distinguished Visitor Hathaway shares harsh reality of refugees with Law students
October 5, 2018 —
“Sticking with the status quo is not an option.” Professor James Hathaway gave this critique of the global refugee system alongside a series of shocking statistics: 60 percent of the global refugee population live within 10 countries; the rich countries of the world spend more money to resettle just 10 percent of the global refugee population than the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) spends on the remaining 90 percent; and in some cases refugees wait 20 years (or more) for resettlement in a safe country. Clearly, something needs to change. Professor Hathaway’s thought-provoking and engaging lecture on September 13—part of the Distinguished Visitors (DV) Lecture Series at Robson Hall—sought to offer some suggestions as to what these changes could be.
