Humanizing borders
What are the dynamics created between the States, the affected people and humanitarian organizations working at borders? What are 'humanitarian borders' and can it help address some of the issues, including access to international protection, non-refoulement and use of force? This discussion on 'humanizing' borders, took place two weeks before the adoption of the Global Compact on Migration in Marrakesh, featuring representatives of affected communities, international organizations and academia.
