3 UNIVERSITY OF BALTIMORE DOCUMENT O: SUMMARY PROPOSAL See Course and Program Development Policy and Procedures for Instructions SCHOOL: LAW MSB YGCLA Contact Name: Cheryl Cudzilo Phone: DEPARTMENT / DIVISION: Law SHORT DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSAL (state action item 1-23 and course name & number or program affected): Addition of new course: Comparative Refugee and Asylum Law to be offered only in the Curacao Winter Intersession Study Abroad Program. PROPOSED SEMESTER OF IMPLEMENTATION: Fall Spring Year: 2007 O-1: Briefly describe what is being requested: New course addition to be offered only in the Curacao Winter Intersession Study Abroad Program. For new courses or changes in existing courses (needed by Registrar) OLD Title: Course # / HEGIS Code: Credits: NEW Title: Comparative Refugee and Asylum Law Course # / HEGIS Code: LAW 593 Credits: 2 O-2: Set forth the rationale for the proposal: In a world in which hundreds of thousands of refugees from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and other areas, are fleeing their countries, legal systems focused on adjudicating refugee status and rights are receiving a huge amount of attention. Many law schools within the United States have courses aimed at teaching students about the United States refugee system. Given that refugee law has its origins in international human rights law and is based on international treaties and agreements, however, refugee legal systems should be looked at in an international context. Other countries are developing legal systems to execute the same agreements, and these systems should be viewed comparatively. A course which looks at United States refugee and asylum law in comparison to other countries systems benefits the students as well as the law school and university by offering the most effective and most academically sound method of looking at this area of law. The students will further benefit by learning about the how the legal systems in a variety of countries have responded to mass migrations and the plight of displaced people. Students will learn the sources of international human rights law and will become familiar with several of the major treaties and documents in this area and their impact on domestic law. Students will learn how to analyze international treaties and agreements as well as the legal systems designed to implement those treaties and agreements, and they will compare these systems. Students will learn about the interplay between refugee law and immigration and nationality law; in a period where many nations are reworking their immigration laws to deal with a flood of refugees and other migrants, this is a crucial and timely issue. Finally, refugee law is one of the most compelling areas of law, where the implications of legal decisions and policies literally may mean life or death for thousands of refugees. Rarely does the law have such heartbreaking stories brought before it; rarely is the law used to so dramatically right the wrongs visited upon a person and to give that person a new chance at life. It is a fascinating arena for students to study the law, and to see how different countries have dealt with these challenges. It teaches students of the vital role that lawyers and legal systems play in countries throughout the world.

Students will learn the sources of international human rights law and will become familiar with several of the major treaties and documents in this area and their impact on domestic law. Students will learn how to analyze international treaties and agreements as well as the legal systems designed to implement those treaties and agreements, and they will compare these systems. Students will learn about the interplay between refugee law and immigration and nationality law; in a period where many nations are reworking their immigration laws to deal with a flood of refugees and other migrants, this is a crucial and timely issue. A Full Rationale (include how the proposed course will benefit the students, the Law School and the University): In a world in which hundreds of thousands of refugees from Africa, the Americas, Asia, Europe and other areas, are fleeing their countries, legal systems focused on adjudicating refugee status and rights are receiving a huge amount of attention. Many law schools within the United States have courses aimed at teaching students about the United States refugee system. Given that refugee law has its origins in international human rights law and is based on international treaties and agreements, however, refugee legal systems should be looked at in an international context. Other countries are developing legal systems to execute the same agreements, and these systems should be viewed comparatively. A course which looks at United States refugee and asylum law in comparison to other countries' systems benefits the students as well as the law school and university by offering the most effective and most academically sound method of looking at this area of law. The students will further benefit by learning about the how the legal systems in a variety of countries have responded to mass migrations and the plight of displaced people. Students will learn the sources of international humail rights law and will becoine fainiliar with several or the major treaties and documents in this area and their impact on domestic law. Students will learn how to analyze international treaties and agreements as well as the legal systems designed to implement those treaties and agreements, and they will compare these systems.
