“This summer’s “refugee crisis” has dominated the news. The UK, like all Western nations, is a signatory of the Refugee Convention, though in practice it does what it can to evade its requirements. This talk looks at the reasons behind the Convention, whether the definition of a refugee is adequate, and what it would mean to do our fair share in supporting the persecuted.”
Chris Bertram is Professor of Social and Political Philosophy at the Department of Philosophy, University of Bristol. This meeting is held in conjunction with Swindon Humanists.
