Informed litigation is vital to uphold the rights of #migrants subject to automated decision-making. This article introduces the NewTech Litigation Database, a tool developed to contest the use of automated systems in #migration & #asylum processes.

The #GRFLegalCommunityPledge isn't just about increasing access to legal assistance for refugees, it's also about promoting #refugee #hiring + #inclusion within the legal communities' work.

We are delighted to have TBB join the Pledge + make a commitment to do just that!

[Talent Beyond Boundaries @TBBforTalent]

TBB has joined the multi-stakeholder Global Refugee Form Legal Community Pledge! We look forward to continuing our work with the legal community in support of refugees.

[Jeff Crisp @JFCrisp]

Three of the world's leading refugee lawyers examine an issue that the UN has been scrupulously (and scandalously) avoiding: the right of Palestinians in Gaza to seek asylum elsewhere.
First, James Hathaway;

[The Elders @TheElders]

Mary Robinson welcomes approval of #UNSC resolution on #Gaza ceasefire and release of all hostages and calls on all members to respect its obligations:

Click 'Show more...' to read comment in full.

“The passing of UN Security Council Resolution 2728 on the situation in Gaza and Israel is welcome but long overdue, and momentum must now be maintained. All UN member states must respect the Resolution and its binding obligations, and push for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and the release of all hostages. The Council’s credibility has suffered through this long impasse. Now is the time to regain the initiative, ensure that humanitarian assistance can avert an impending famine, and work for a lasting, just peace.” - Mary Robinson

[David Manne @david_manne]

Govt seeking new laws to jail people found by law to be #refugees, for up to 5 yrs - plus a fine of up to $94,000 - if they don’t agree to their own deportation to danger. It strikes at the heart of our obligations to protect people fleeing from persecution. @RefugeeLegal

#CollectiveAction = #CollectiveImpact

[PILnet @PILnet]

Collective action by the legal community is essential to the advancement of access to justice for refugees.
@AsyLex_ shared how PILnet & the Core Group are already engaging members of the recently launched 2023 #GRFLegalCommunityPledge during the informal briefing by @Refugees

[Jasmine Simperingham @Jjsimperingham]

Looking forward to facilitating a session on #ClimateChange x #Displacement at @PILnet 's European Convening on April 16.

Come join us to unpack the role of pro bono at the intersection of these two global issues!
