Speaker: Stephen Poellot, Legal Director and Co-Founder, Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project
The civil war in Syria has displaced millions of people within the country and forced many others—over 2.5 million—to flee. This has created what UN officials have described as the worst refugee crisis since the Rwandan genocide. Stephen Poellot, Legal Director of the Iraqi Refugee Assistance Project (IRAP), will discuss legal challenges presented by the Syrian refugee crisis, including obstacles to refugee resettlement in the United States.
