The American University Center for Latin American & Latino Studies (CLALS), the AU Washington College of Law (WCL), and the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) is convening a day-and-a-half symposium focused on defending and reinforcing the best interests principle as the central framework for decision-making involving immigrant children. In addition to bringing to the fore of the public discussion the U.S. government’s failures to provide immigrant children with treatment consistent with standards widely accepted under domestic law and international norms, the symposium will serve as a forum for generating concrete recommendations for implementing the best interests standard in the immigration context.
