Zaproszenie na wykład: „Migrants, Politics, Democracy, and the Role of ICE in the United States”

 Centrum Badań nad Prawem Migracyjnym Instytutu Nauk Prawnych PAN, ma zaszczyt zaprosić na wykład profesora Hiroshi Motomury z University of California (UCLA) pt.

„Migrants, Politics, Democracy, and the Role of ICE in the United States”:

Responses to migration have become an issue of intense controversy in the United States since Donald Trump returned to the U.S. presidency in January 2025. His administration has vigorously pursued deportations by adopting unprecedented approaches to arrests, detention, and deportation, as well as by virtually ending refugee admissions and asylum. A key part of this campaign is carried out by the federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, or ICE, which Congress has separately and extravagantly funded. Many of these developments have established a militarized interior presence that some see as impacting not just migrants but also broader society and undermining democracy. Professor Hiroshi Motomura from the UCLA School of Law will discuss the significance of these developments, not just for the United States, but also for immigration policy in many countries facing similar challenges.

 

Profesor Motomura jest specjalistą w zakresie prawa migracyjnego, a jego najnowsza książka pt. „Borders and Belonging: Toward a Fair Immigration Policy” została wydana przez Oxford University Press w 2025 roku.

Spotkanie odbędzie się 12 maja 2026 roku, w godzinach 10.00-12.00 w siedzibie Instytutu w Pałacu Staszica (ul. Nowy Świat 72) w sali nr 273 (II piętro).

Spotkanie odbędzie się w języku angielskim i nie będzie tłumaczone.

Spotkanie jest otwarte.

2. Call for papers: The Future of International Peace and Security: Conceptualizing the Securitization of Climate Change (Monachium, październik 2026 r.)

W dniu 19 października br. w Monachium odbędzie się konferencja pt. "The Future of International Peace and Security: Conceptualizing the Securitization of Climate Change".

Wystąpienia mogą dotyczyć m.in. następujących zagadnień:

• How can the securitization of climate change be conceptualized within the framework of international law? To what extent can existing legal categories accommodate climate-related risks?
• What are the risks and opportunities of the securitization of climate change from an international law perspective? Under what conditions can climate change be conceptualized as a threat to peace and security? How does the climate-security nexus challenge traditional understandings of international peace and security?
• How do international and regional organizations differ in their approaches to climaterelated security risks? What role should the UN Security Council (still) play in addressing climate change-related threats?
• What institutional adaptations are required to address climate-related security risks effectively?
• Should or can military actors be tasked with addressing climate related harms or be subject to climate related obligations?
• How does a climate-security framing affect the mandates and practice of peace operations?
• In what ways can climate-related security governance be reconciled with principles of common but differentiated responsibilities, equity and cooperation? How might climate (due diligence) obligations evolve where climate impacts foreseeably contribute to instability or conflict?
• What are the risks associated with a shift from mitigation and adaptation to securitydriven threat management, and with the transfer of governance from environmental to security institutions?
• Does the securitization of climate change risk privileging militarized or state-centric responses over human security and climate justice? How can equity, human rights and climate justice be safeguarded within a security-oriented framework?
