Symposium: Protection of Persons Fleeing Armed Conflict and Other Situations of Violence

On October 20, 2014, the University of Luxembourg will host a symposium, jointly organised with the UNHCR, on "Protection of Persons Fleeing Armed Conflict and Other Situations of Violence." The program is here. Here's the idea:
The event will consider the issue of assessing claims for international protection for persons fleeing armed conflict or other situations of violence: using Article 2A of the 1951 Geneva Convention or Article 15 of the EU Qualification Directive? Particular attention will be paid to the new UNHCR guidelines on the subject.
