EU to Bosnia: Refuge, Reparations, and Global Apartheid
L'incontro è dedicato all'analisi critica della preclusione al diritto di asilo, partendo dal caso studio di ciò che accade ai confini tra Unione europea e Bosnia Erzegovina, che produce crisi umanitarie e nega mobilità e condizioni di sicurezza ai migranti
The foreclosure of asylum in the European Union and the militarization of the EU borders have resulted in EU pushbacks of refugees and migrants from the Middle East, North Africa, and South Asia to European countries that do not belong to the EU, such as Bosnia.
This panel critically examines the foreclosure of asylum at the EU/Bosnia border as a case study of the global apartheid regime that produces humanitarian crises while denying refugees mobility and safety.
What might accountability for the damages wrought by global apartheid look like? And what kinds of futures can we imagine and fight for?
