"The right to health of Venezuelan irregular migrants and human rights law: The case of Colombia"

 Date: Wednesday 11 March
Time: 1:00 - 2:00 pm
Venue: Seminar room, Irish Centre for Human Rights

Dr Stefano Angeleri is a postdoctoral researcher at the Irish Centre for Human Rights - School of Law,  NUI Galway, and his research explores the relationships between human rights and sovereign powers in the area of migration and health at different levels of law (national, regional and international). Dr Angeleri has recently extended his research focus to the inter-American human rights system and to Latin American constitutionalism (under which social rights are largely justiciable and migration policies are overall less strict than in Europe). This seminar will overview how the Colombian legal system has responded to the health care needs of (a large number of) migrants fleeing from Venezuela,and whether compliance with international human rights law is achieved. The findings of this research constitute the background of a to-be-realised field-work on the complementary role of civil society and international actors in ensuring the health rights of Venezuelan irregular migrants in the city of Bogotá, Colombia.
