The Remote Border: Externalisation, Digital Mobility Control, and the Future of Public International Law

Public international law has traditionally understood borders as territorial spaces in which states exercise sovereign authority. Increasingly, however, migration and mobility control take place far from the physical frontier through digital identity systems, carrier sanctions, visa databases, externalised asylum procedures, and other forms of remote governance. This lecture examines how these developments are reshaping questions of sovereignty, jurisdiction, accountability, academic freedom, and human rights, and asks whether international law is adequately equipped to respond to new forms of exclusion and rightlessness.

This lecture is open to prospective LL.M. students who would like to experience the academic environment at SFU and get a first sense of the LL.M. in Public International Law.
