Professor Ayelet Shachar for the Carnegie Council's Ethics & International Affairs: Global Lessons from the Ukrainian Refugee Crisis

According to the EIA website, "The aim of Ethics & International Affairs, the quarterly journal of the Carnegie Council, is to help close the gap between theory and practice (and between theorists and practitioners) by publishing original articles, essays, and book reviews that integrate rigorous thinking about principles of justice and morality into discussions of practical dilemmas related to current policy developments, global institutional arrangements, and the conduct of important international actors."

Professor of Law, Politics and Global Affairs, Ayelet Shachar, R.F. Harney Chair in Ethnic, Immigration and Pluralism Studies at U of T's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, addresses bias at the border and the need to expand protections for refugees in the wake of the war in Ukraine. She writes:

The UNHCR estimates that the numbers may rise to 4.5 million. We are amid the “fastest growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.”
