Are you curious to find out how Spain’s new immigration law affects you? And what on earth is this “European Pact on Migration and Asylum” that’s already in the works? Well, you have an event to attend in León on September 11, at the ULE School of Law. There, a group of specialists in immigration and international protection will come together to dissect the changes that are turning the Spanish immigration system upside down.
It’s going to be a packed day, starting at 9:30 a.m.
The 13th Seminar on International Legal Relations, directed by Aurelia Álvarez Rodríguez, professor of private international law, starts early. In the Salón de Grados, there will be seven workshops spread throughout the day, until 7:50 p.m. If you can’t make it there in person, don’t worry: the event is hybrid, so you can easily follow along online. And if you’re a student or work at ULE, registration costs 5 euros; for everyone else, it’s 10. Just make sure to register on the university’s Continuing Education platform. Hurry—spots are filling up fast.
What will they be discussing?
The main focus will be on the latest developments in immigration law and the European Pact on Asylum. Topics such as the regularization process, the management of migration flows, and how the courts are interpreting the new rules will be covered. They won’t just stick to theory: they’ll analyze practical application at the borders and in the CIE detention centers, with a special focus on deportations, triage procedures, and vulnerable groups—for example, stateless Sahrawis or those seeking protection on humanitarian grounds under Royal Decree 1155/2024—. In short, no detail will be overlooked.
Aurelia Álvarez has indicated that they will also take into account the recent turmoil in Ceuta. The idea, according to the organizers, is not only to explain the legislation but also to bring to the table the challenges that lie ahead in the coming years with the transformation of immigration policies, both in Spain and in the EU. And all of this, mind you, from a human rights perspective.
A look at who is protected and how
Don’t miss the opening ceremony, presided over by Rector Nuria González at 9:30 a.m. The closing ceremony, at 7:50 p.m., will be led by Vice Rector Raquel Domínguez Fernández. If you’re interested in the future of migration in Europe, this seminar will give you insights into how control mechanisms are being applied and what safeguards exist for migrants. There may not be definitive answers, but at least you’ll leave with a clearer picture of what’s happening with your case. You know the drill.
