International Refugee Law: Yesterday, Today, but Tomorrow?

Venue: G08, Law Building

Presenters: Professor Guy Goodwin-Gill

The 2016 Sir Kenneth Bailey Memorial Lecture delivered by Professor Guy Goodwin-Gill

The Sir Kenneth Bailey Memorial Lecture honours the Fourth Dean of the Melbourne Law School, Kenneth Hamilton Bailey, who played a significant part in Australia's contribution to the formation of the United Nations. Kenneth Hamilton Bailey was born in Melbourne in 1898, was awarded the Rhodes scholarship for Victoria in 1919 and graduated Oxford with a degree in Law and Arts. Bailey returned to The University of Melbourne in 1924, where he became a Professor of Jurisprudence, and later, a Professor of Public Law. When he succeeded Harrison Moore in 1928, Sir Kenneth Bailey became Melbourne’s first Australian-born Dean of Law. The Sir Kenneth Bailey Memorial Lecture was inaugurated at the Commemoration of the Centenary of the 1899 Hague Peace Conference on 19 February 1999 at the University of Melbourne.

Guy Goodwin-Gill is Emeritus Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, Emeritus Professor of International Refugee Law, University of Oxford, and a Barrister at Blackstone Chambers, London, where he practices in public international law generally, and in human rights, citizenship, refugee and asylum law.

This event is co-hosted by Melbourne Law School and the Melbourne Journal of International Law.
