African Asylum Seekers in Israel: Historical Context and Current Status

This program will address the history and current status of African refugees in Israel. There are approximately 38,000 refugees from African countries residing in Israel and seeking asylum. Israel has not responded to most applications for asylum and has considered mass deportation. The purpose of this talk is to educate about the sociopolitical evolution of the current situation and recent events. In addition, the program will provide an overview of international law principles that apply to refugees in Israel, as well as domestic law within Israel that has shaped refugee status and rights.

WHAT IS A WEBINAR?
A webinar consists of one or more instructors delivering content primarily via audio and a PowerPoint™ presentation. Unlike in a webcast, you will not see the instructor; you will only hear his/her voice and see the PowerPoint™ presentation on your screen as the instructor delivers the material. You will receive a PDF of the coursebook, just as you would for an in-person or webcast program.
