'The Right to Flee the Dangers of War'
Content
Charlie Carpenter, political science and Human Securities Lab, and Jenna Norosky, graduate student in political science, have a new paper in Human Rights Quarterly discussing how Ukraine's travel restrictions on "battle-aged" men violate international human rights laws.
From the abstract:
"This article highlights the ways Ukraine's travel restrictions on "battle-aged" civilian men has harmed three overlapping groups: civilian men, families (including women and children), and trans and nonbinary individuals. It then demonstrates that wartime policies such as this one are at odds with several areas of international human rights and humanitarian law: the right to freedom of movement, the right to conscientious objection, and the principles of respect for family."
