The Importance Of Administrative Appeals As Second Instance Bodies To Strengthen Migration And Asylum Systems, Gabriela Richard Rodriguez
Refugee Law & Migration Studies Brief
According to data from UNHCR's Report, "Global Trends - Forced Displacement in 2022," there were 108.4 million forcibly displaced people worldwide in 2022; in the first half of 2023 alone, there were 110 million displaced people, indicating that 2023 could double the figures of 2022.

Advancing The Due Process Right To Appointed Counsel In Immigration Removal Proceedings, Chloe Schalit
Refugee Law & Migration Studies Brief
Right now, noncitizens only have the right to an attorney if they can afford one. While courts have grappled with the inherent due process issue accompanying this standard, no court has held that noncitizens have the right to a government- appointed attorney. This paper promotes the provision of government-appointed attorneys to noncitizens in removal proceedings in immigration court under a due process lens. This paper will first briefly examine the difference between criminal and civil matters related to the Sixth Amendment right to an appointed attorney. Next, the paper will engage in a Fifth Amendment due process analysis, ultimately concluding …

U'Wa Indigenous People Vs. Columbia: Potential Applications Of The Escazu Agreement, Ariana Lippi
Sustainable Development Law & Policy
Though the case is ongoing, and results are still to be seen, it in many ways sets a precedent for indigenous communities in Latin America seeking redress for environmental and cultural injustices. With Colombia’s recent ratification of The Escazú Regional Agreement (the Agreement herein) in 2022, this case presents a unique opportunity for implementation of the Agreement and greater accountability within existing domestic legislation.
