DESCRIPTION:The Oppenheimer Chair in Public International Law is pleased to
  welcome Dr. Hilary Evans Cameron\, Trinity College\, University of Toront
 o.\n\nDescription: In any area of law\, the rules that govern fact-finding
  are built on a judgment about which potential error a decision-maker shou
 ld prefer. Refugee law has not engaged with this question\, even though re
 fugee status determinations typically rest on findings of fact. This hole 
 in the law’s normative foundations may well be undermining refugee protect
 ion across the globe\, for as a review of the Canadian Federal Court’s jur
 isprudence makes clear\, it is contributing daily to the dysfunction of on
 e the world’s most respected refugee determination systems.\n\nThis presen
 tation argues that refugee law should recognize an obligation under the Co
 nvention to resolve doubt in the claimant’s favour. What is more\, to meet
  its Convention obligations refugee status determination must function as 
 a risk assessment. Building on UK and Australian jurisprudence\, this pres
 entation proposes a decision-making model that gives effect to these two l
 egal imperatives.\n
