One of the cross-cutting themes of the RefMig research is accountability in migration and refugee governance. A workshop held in November 2018 brought together leading legal scholars to examine accountability gaps, where those who violate human rights escape accountability. In particular, it provided the opportunity to reflect on the growing operational role of EU agencies, IOM, and other non-state actors in this context. The PI with Professor Itamar Mann co-edited a special issue of the German Law Journal on this topic, Vol 21,2020 (3) published April 2020 in an open access format.
