Overnight in The Hague, before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a Papua New Guinean man described rising seas forcing his family and friends to move four times already. The villagers from Veraibari are now planning a fifth and final relocation: 'If this relocation fails, we have nowhere else we can go.' The ICJ hearings began last week and continue until Friday. The court will produce an advisory opinion on 'the obligations of states in respect of climate change'. It will inevitably be a landmark. UNSW Law & Justice Professor Jane McAdam, for years a pioneer in this legal field, recently wrote about how the ICJ opinion might influence protection for people at risk of displacement in the context of climate change: https://lnkd.in/gMpfrPsT

CALL FOR PAPERS - "Refugee Law and Forced Migration Studies: Debates, Interactions and Futures’’, 15th Anniversary Conference, 2 - 4 June 2025 DEADLINE FOR PROPOSALS: MONDAY 27 JANUARY 2025 The RLI Conference offers a dedicated annual forum internationally to share and debate the latest research and cutting-edge developments in refugee protection. This year’s dedicated conference theme will have a focus on Refugee Law alongside discussions on Forced Migration Studies. The conference will revisit these fields, their debates and the connections between them. The RLI was created in 2010 to promote research and collaboration on international refugee law. Since then, the refugee law field has expanded exponentially. But this field sits alongside, or within, a well-established field of forced migration studies with its own momentum and dynamics. Despite historical tensions between these fields, researchers and practitioners from a variety of disciplines have regularly sought innovative ways to develop and bridge them. The conference seeks to reignite this debate, highlighting new and important directions in these fields, unpacking opportunities for mutual learning and reflecting on the remaining tensions.

Today, the ICJ enters week two of its consequential hearings on #ClimateChange in the Hague. 🇺🇳   My take below on how international law – well beyond the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement – must be interpreted to provide guidance on human mobility in the context of climate change, both to support people on the move, as well as to support people to stay, build resilience, and adapt to climate impacts. 🪴 International Institute for Sustainable Development Maxine Marcus Maxine Burkett Sébastien Duyck Prof. Dr. Christina Voigt Cymie Payne Kevin Chand Veronika Fikfak Evelyn Campos Sanchez Marek Szilvasi Andrew Harper Kate Jastram Harj Narulla Steven Miron Jocelyn Perry Paul Roughan Margaretha Wewerinke-Singh Julian Arato Melissa Stewart Philipp Offenberg Nienke Grossman Fernando Lusa Bordin Rudi Navarra Stewart Maginnis Tafadzwa Pasipanodya Ileana Sinziana Puscas Pacific Islands Students Fighting Climate Change Kayly Ober
