EDAL Conference 2014: Reflections on the Current Application of the EU Asylum Acquis
Hilton Charlemont hotel, Dublin, Ireland
17th and 18th January 2014
The
European Database of Asylum Law is a key legal tool complementing the
numerous endeavours seeking to strengthen the development of harmonized
standards of protection within the Common European Asylum System. As we
see the fruits of the second phase of the CEAS begin to be implemented,
the EDAL Conference provides a space to critically and constructively
reflect on the reality of the achievements of the CEAS to date and to
consider the potential for greater levels of protection and
harmonisation in the future. The Conference will be of interest to
decision-makers, practitioners, academics and NGO representatives from
across Europe and participants will benefit from ample opportunity to
compare and contrast the current application of EU measures across
Member States.
