Assam Citizenship Verification Process and India's Citizenship Amendment Act

In this talk, Rupali Samuel takes the example of India to explore how exclusionary regimes use citizenship laws as a vehicle for oppression and marginalisation. Based on her experience working at the Parichay Legal Clinic in India, she will reflect on the challenging citizenship verification processes adopted by India in Assam, their consequences in terms of detention and deportation, and how the lack of a proper refugee protection framework perpetuates human rights violations.

Do we need another COP? If not, then what?

The Paris Agreement obligations expire in 2024. How do we ensure that global climate action will continue and be enhanced beyond the Paris legal infrastructure? Climate change is a problem that will remain with us for many more decades. We should start negotiations on how we should proceed after the Paris Agreement has come to an end. We should set this process in motion earlier on.

Will COP26 inspire new and legally binding obligations to reduce emissions and on loss and damage resulting from climate change?

Online panel discussion: "National ‘fair shares’ in GHG mitigation, international environmental law & climate litigation"

This event will discuss the findings of a recent inter-disciplinary Climate Policy paper that uses the principles of international environmental law to select criteria to determine 'national fair shares' in GHG mitigation. Fair share ranges consistent with international environmental law principles offer a benchmark for existing and new nationally determined contributions under the Paris Agreement, for peer-to-peer comparisons, and to feed into the global stock takes.

The Transformation of British Welfare Policy: Politics, discourse and public opinion

Since 2010 the UK has embarked on a series of radical welfare reforms that have led to greater poverty, homelessness, indebtedness, and foodbank use. It has diverged from other European countries experiencing similar economic and social trends, who have not enacted such dramatic cuts and reforms. Until recently, however, the changes proved very popular with the public, who increasingly hated the welfare system and viewed its users as lazy, undeserving and likely to be cheating.
