 Save The Date!
The HRHP Concentration will host the Crossing Digital Borders: Data Protection Threats & Migrant Surveillance Industry dialogue to discuss one of the most pressing issues of our time!
While asylum seekers are required to provide significant amounts of personal information on their journey to safety, they are rarely fully informed of their data rights by UN agencies, border control, NGOs, and law enforcement staff tasked with obtaining and processing their personal information.
The speakers will talk about the challenges faced by refugees and asylum seekers crossing these borders, emerging human rights issues in digital surveillance, as well as legal and policy responses by civil society.

When: Thursday, March 5, 2020. 12:00 m. - 1:30 p.m.
