DESCRIPTION:The “safe third country” concept emerged in the global asylum g
 overnance scene in the late 1980s as an effort to prevent secondary moveme
 nt of refugees\, after they flee persecution and find safety at the closes
 t instance possible. Despite being promoted as a responsibility-sharing to
 ol by its proponents\, in reality\, safe third country practices aggravate
  the rights violations that refugees face and obstruct their access to asy
 lum. This talk offers a comparative analysis of safe third country practic
 es in the EU-Turkey and Canada-USA contexts\, especially in consideration 
 of the recent amendment of Canada-USA Safe Third Country Agreement in 2023
 . The comparison is based on dynamics surrounding the two asylum spaces an
 d impacts of safe third country practices on mobility trajectories. Parall
 el efforts in the Global North demonstrate a common pattern in the global 
 asylum regime towards reinforced containment of human mobility.\n\nSpeaker
