SUMMARY:Escaping justice\; war criminals seeking asylum
DESCRIPTION:Guest conference : Joris van Wijk Joris van Wijk (1977) works a
 s an Assistant Professor in Criminology at VU University Amsterdam. He fin
 ished his PhD research on irregular (asylum) migration from Angola to the 
 Netherlands in 2007. In 2008\, the European Society of Criminology granted
  him the Young European Criminologist Award for an article published in th
 e journal International Migration. He briefly worked as a coordinator and 
 researcher at the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and conti
 nues to work as a freelance consultant in the field of migration.At this m
 oment he teaches the course 'Victimology of International Crimes' in the s
 elective Master International Crimes and Criminology at VU University. His
  current academic research project 'Escaping Justice' focuses on the grant
 ing of amnesty after large scale conflicts and the application of exclusio
 n clause 1F of the Refugee Convention.Summary- March 2011: 'General Mangou
  (Ivory Coast) defects and takes refuge in South African Embassy.' - March
  2011: 'Minister of Foreign Affairs\, former chief of secret service Kouss
 a (Libya) defects and flees to the UK.' According to international law per
 petrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity are 'undeserving' to r
 eceive refugee protection. When there are 'serious reasons to believe' an 
 asylum applicant committed such acts\, he should :1) be excluded from the 
 asylum procedure\, and 2) be prosecuted.How do countries in actual practi
 ce deal with these international obligations? How do receiving states esta
 blish if someone has committed such crimes\, how many persons are excluded
 \, what crimes are they suspected of having committed and what happens aft
 er their exclusion?Canada is a forerunner in setting up an integrated poli
 cy approach to deal with the above mentioned questions. It's case law and 
 strategy serves as a leading example. In this presentation I will discuss 
 the current situation in Europe\, with a focus on the Netherlands. Many em
 pirical\, legal and ethical dilemmas remain at large.InformationConférenc
