Call for Papers
The migration of people from one place to another is not a new phenomenon. However, it has attracted much attention in the present time when the states have become more conscious about demarcating their borders and restricting non-citizens from permanent settlement in their country. In the absence of a global convention to tackle illegal migration, it has been left open for the states to frame their legal policy. In addition, in the last twenty years, the dimension of the complexities and challenges of the forcibly displaced people, migrants, and refugees have been significantly changed, which often get less priority in the discussion of protection and human rights of these people. Against this backdrop, an academic conference may open the door of critical discussions and debates on this topic to share knowledge and disseminate research findings.
IFM Law School of India and the Center for Peace Studies of the North South University of Bangladesh will jointly organize a virtual conference in November 2021 where scholars will be invited to exchange and build knowledge on the above discussed topic.
Research papers are invited from the academics, professionals, research scholars and students on the broad themes provided below. Sharing of findings of empirical research work is highly encouraged. The authors will have to submit an abstract of their research paper before the deadline. The selected abstracts need to be stretched further for completing them as full-fledged research papers to be submitted on or before the date mentioned.
