Over the past weeks Inga Broerse (junior lecturer in migration law) and Younous Arbaoui (assistant professor at the Amsterdam Centre for Migration and Refugee Law) have guided their students from the Global Migration Governance course in preparing for the upcoming International Migration Review Forum (IMRF) of the United Nations in 2026.
During the final class, they organized a simulation of the UN Informal Multi-Stakeholder Hearing, where students presented their findings on the implementation of the Global Compact for Migration in Canada, Ethiopia, the Philippines, and Portugal. Arbaoui: “It was a valuable learning experience for both students and lecturers, and led to a tangible outcome: a review report that will be submitted to the UN in support of the IMRF. The final version will be edited by the lecturers before submission to the United Nations Network on Migration.”
