International human rights law, advocacy, and awareness have all had a positive dramatic impact on rights practices around the world over the decades. This has not been the case for the growing number of people who want or are forced to move across international borders. Sovereigntist attitudes and border anxiety are on the rise in many parts of the world. As a result, borders are hardening and border control is crossing over into the violation of fundamental human rights. Beth Simmons, the Andrea Mitchell University Professor of Law, Political Science and Business Ethics at the University of Pennsylvania, will review global bordering trends, how and why they impact human rights, and some possible ways forward.
