Seminar on Foundations of Refugee Law
The Bangladesh Center for Refugee Law Studies (BCRLS), in collaboration with the Department of Law and Land Administration, Jagannath University, successfully hosted an academic seminar titled “Foundations of Refugee Law: Principles, Protection, and Contemporary Challenges.” We were also honored by the participation of Meftahul Hasan (Assistant Professor, Department of Law, Jagannath University) as Special Guest, who contributed to the academic depth and engagement of the seminar. The program brought together students, researchers, and participants who actively engaged in discussions, making the session both interactive and impactful. The seminar served as an important platform for advancing awareness and academic dialogue on refugee law in Bangladesh. BCRLS extends its sincere appreciation to Istiak Ahmed Efat and Shihab Ul Haque for their dedicated efforts in organizing and coordinating the event, and to all participants for their enthusiastic involvement.
