Finding a Place for Rights at the Canada-US Border
Link to World Issues recorded session Speakers: Prof. Benjamin Goold, Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia Catherine Dauvergne, Lawyer & Author, Prof. Efrat Arbel, Allard School of Law, University of British Columbia
The project examines how legislative and policy changes introduced as a result of the 2011 Beyond the Border Agreement have affected the governance of the Canada-US border. Our focus is on the daily regulation of the border - how legal responsibility is exercised, how the discretionary decision-making process works, and how border regulation impacts the human rights and civil liberties of different border crossers. Our presentation will provide an overview of our project, to reflect on our preliminary research findings.
