Congratulations to Delphine Nakache, Lead LERRN Protection Working Group, on her appointment to the University Research Chair (URC) in Migrant Protection and International Law at the University of Ottawa!  

Professor Nakache is a leading voice on issues of refugee protection. She has dedicated her career to amplifying the voices of vulnerable populations in migration systems, along with making a substantial impact on the protection of their fundamental rights. In this position, she will focus on the relationship between Canada’s actions domestically and internationally regarding temporary migrants and asylum seekers, as there has been little assessment of how Canada’s commitments have translated into concrete action.
