Скачать или смотреть Last Stop: Germany? - Seeking Refuge Liu Institute Video Series

While Germany’s willingness to determine the claim of anybody reaching its borders is novel, the European Union continues to threaten African countries such as Niger and Eritrea that it will withdraw aid, trade and visa arrangements unless they agree to take back economic migrants.

In an interview with the Liu Institute for Global Issues (liu.arts.ubc.ca), Dean of the Peter A. Allard School of Law at the University of British Columbia, Catherine Dauvergne, discusses the role Germany is playing, compared to other countries, in aiding refugees.

UBC Geography professor, Dr. Daniel Hiebert, reveals shocking information concerning the deportation of refugees from Europe. Hundreds of thousands were removed from Germany as the EU had signed agreements with African states asking them to receive deportees.

The Liu Institute for Global Issues’ video series, Seeking Refuge, focuses on different aspects of the refugee crisis we are witnessing in today’s world. The series includes a number of short videos that consist of snippets from interviews with Liu Institute and UBC Professors with legal and geopolitical expertise on refugee issues.

Compelling questions such as ‘Who counts as a refugee?’ and ‘Is this refugee crisis the new normal?’ will be answered throughout the series.
