Protecting The World's Exiles: The Human Rights of
Non-Citizens
Protecting the World’s Exiles: The Human Rights of Non-Citizens,
is a video-taped discussion conducted with two eminent legal scholars,
Professor Louis Henkin and Professor Oscar Schachter, both of whom have
contributed substantially to the development of international human rights
law. The one-hour video examines universal human rights standards and their
implementation. Both Henkin and Schacter focus on the gaps in existing
frameworks, discussing how rights provisions are often not upheld in practice.
Many are still being detained, turned away, or denied asylum due to bureaucratic
indifference, even by well-intentioned governments.
