'The global refugee crisis and what to do about it' - Rt Hon David Miliband

Series

Oxford Martin School: Public Lectures and Seminars

Embed

At a time of heightened political tension and policy confusion about the refugee crisis, this lecture explores why record numbers of people are fleeing their homes; what conditions they are living in; and what should be done to help them.

Rt Hon David Miliband will make the case that support for refugees is a global public good, which requires reform of international policy. He will also argue that winning the argument for supporting refugees is vital to the moral standing of western societies which constructed the international order after World War 2.
