Through the Eyes of the Stateless: Rethinking the Role of the State<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does the State look like to those it excludes? Drawing on global examples, Amal de Chickera<\/strong> argued that the technical and administrative nature of citizenship does more than create statelessness<\/p>\n

It actively denies millions the right to work, education, and social security. This deliberate exclusion forces people into sub-human conditions and exploitative, precarious labour.<\/p>\n

De Chickera called for a radical reimagining of rights<\/strong>\u2014one that de-centres the State<\/strong> and challenges the systems that enable the detention and exploitation of the stateless with impunity.<\/p>\n

A renowned human rights lawyer<\/strong> and co-founder and co-director of the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion (ISI)<\/strong>, Amal de Chickera delivered this compelling lecture on October 28<\/strong> at the Olympus Auditorium, BCIS<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for upcoming BCIS events.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
