I'm sending a few tweets from this event for @AberdeenUniLaw, but do pay attention to @AULWOB whose event I am gatecrashing and they will have better photos of the event than me.

Thanks to Daria for summarising the various contributions and setting the scene for questions, and also noting certain questions were pre-empted by the speakers (e.g. Italy/EU returning people crossing the Med to Libya). Congrats to all at @AULWOB & the speakers for a great event

After Max Wiktorsson from @AULWOB, the student speaker, Borys Biedron, sets out the context of the issue (some 25 million refugees in the world, who have been displaced), and explains the various legal instruments and some cases about refugees. #HumanRightsConference2019

[Aberdeen Law School @AberdeenUniLaw]
