The McGill Journal of Sustainable Development Law (MJSDL) welcomes Professor Iris Goldner Lang, University of Zagreb, Croatia.
In this webinar, Prof. Iris Goldner Lang will describe the impacts of the pandemic on mobility policies in the European Union. COVID-19 policies in the EU have severely restricted free movement, migration, and asylum rights. This lecture will shed light on the particularities of anti-COVID-19 mobility measures in the EU, and their implications for free movement of persons in the Schengen border-free area, and for the right to seek asylum, as guaranteed by EU law.
