Mass Deportation Policy and the Rights of Displaced Persons: The U.S.–Latin America Removal Pipeline
Recent shifts in United States immigration policy have intensified deportation efforts, affecting migrants and asylum seekers from across Latin America. These measures have raised complex questions surrounding international refugee protection, due process, burden-sharing, and the responsibilities of states under international law.
As the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), delegates will assess the humanitarian implications of large-scale deportations and explore policies that uphold the rights and dignity of displaced persons while balancing national sovereignty and border management.
