Cornell International Law Journal Symposium on Human Mobility During COVID-19

Building upon 14 principles for how international law should protect migrants, refugees, and other displaced persons during the COVID-19 pandemic -- which has been endorsed by more than 1,000 scholars worldwide – a group of international law scholars have collaborated to create a series of short essays looking at a set of pressing legal and policy issues relevant to this and future pandemics and the rights of migrants under international law.  The result is a symposium on "Human Rights and Human Mobility" published in the Cornell International Law Journal.
