Refugee Rights Turkey held a introductory seminar in Istanbul on 1 April 2017 for a group of law students. The half-day event aimed to introduce the participants to basic concepts of international refugee law as well as the main features of the Turkish asylum system and thereby to spark their interest in this field as a possible professional specialization area. The event was organized as an element of RRT’s ongoing cooperation framework with Heinrich Böll Stiftung Turkey with a view to encouraging future legal practitioners and rights advocates to invest in the field of asylum law.
