Undesirable and Unreturnable? Policy challenges around excluded asylum-seekers and other migrants suspected of serious criminality but who cannot be removed

This international conference initiates reflection on the emerging public policy challenge of excluded asylum-seekers and other migrants suspected of serious criminality but who cannot be removed from the territory of the host State. The conference forms part of an AHRC-supported international research network project led by the Refugee Law Initiative, University of London, and the Center for International Criminal Justice, VU University Amsterdam. It aims to present and discuss state-of-the-art research and thinking by network participants, whilst incorporating new perspectives gathered via an open call for papers. Alongside high-profile academic experts, the event will be attended by policy-makers from over a dozen countries who participate in the network.
