The 2015 Samuel Dash Conference on Human Rights will consider the protection of the human rights of migrants - and in particular asylum-seekers and others who merit international protection - in the context of efforts by states to externalize control and enforcement of migration worldwide. The event will feature the release of a new HRI report on the protection of the human rights of migrant children in Southern Mexico as well as a discussion of changes in U.S. law, policy and practice that could enhance rights protections in the Americas.

The Samuel Dash Conference on Human Rights was established by Samuel Dash's family and friends, Georgetown Law alumni and the law firm of Cozen O'Connor to honor Dash's contributions to international human rights and domestic civil rights. Professor Dash passed away in 2004.
