This international academic conference critically explores how forced migration, refugee protection, and inclusion are being redefined in an increasingly fragmented and uncertain global order. It seeks to examine the impact on solidarities across international, national and local contexts. Which forms of solidarity are currently under stress, and which are gaining in importance and how? What does this mean for the rights, recognition, protection, and participation of displaced people?

What is the future of asylum in an era of democratic backsliding? In what ways is the right to asylum preserved symbolically while practical access is restricted? How do global, regional, and national regimes shape contemporary asylum policies? What practical and policy measures can be implemented to safeguard the right to asylum and uphold human rights standards? To what extent is the future of asylum a litmus test for the sustainability of democratic governance and the protection of human rights?
