Course objectives
The aim of the course is to provide students with the basic theoretical background in the field of refugee/migration law (definition of refugee, non-refoulement, complementary protection, role of UNHCR, admission of aliens, detention/expulsion of aliens, EU/Czech migration law, Schengen acquis, employment of aliens atc.). The course is primarily designed for students attending the concurrent all-year course of Refugee Legal Clinic, which is focused on acquiring practical skills. Since there is otherwise only limited standard preparation in theory of refugee law provided at the University, this course aims at providing theoretical basis of basic terms in the field of asylum and refugee law, so that the Refugee Legal Clinic can focus on development of practical skills. Thereby sufficient attention can be paid to migration law which is a developing field of law (especially at EU level) covering several fields of law, such as administrative law, international law and EU law. The purpose of the course is to enhance the theoretical knowledge of clinic students also by migration law; and to also allow other students not attending the clinic gain basic knowledge of this field of law. The content of individual seminars will be adjusted with the clinic, so that individual themes do not overlap but complement the seminars in the clinic (theory/practical exercises). Individual lessons are taught by experts working in asylum and migration field in practice (the office of Public Defendor of Human Rights, Supreme Administrative Court, academics, lawyers, legal counsellors at the Department of Asylum and Migration Policies, UNHCR etc.).
