Call for Papers! 'The Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in the context of war in the EU鈥檚 neighbourhood'

13 Feb 2025

28-29 April 2025, Centre for European Integration, School of Law, 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork, Ireland

The Centre for European Integration (CEI) at 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork organises a conference focusing on the impact of armed conflicts on the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ). In particular, it seeks to explore the challenges for the Common European 
Asylum System, the Temporary Protection Directive, and the externalization of migrationcontrols. A central theme of the conference is the EU's legal obligations to protect fundamental rights and the rule of law, particularly in the context of war in the EU鈥檚 neighbourhood.

The European Union鈥檚 (EU) AFSJ is established with an aim to foster free movement 'in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border controls, asylum, immigration and the prevention and combating of crime' (Article 3(2) TEU). The realities of contemporary armed conflicts鈥攆rom the US invasion of Afghanistan to Russia鈥檚 war against Ukraine and beyond鈥攈ave tested and are still testing the resilience and coherence of the AFSJ鈥檚 legal framework. These conflicts raise pressing questions about asylum and migration, counterterrorism, judicial cooperation in criminal matters, and more generally on the balance between competing public interests, or between public interests and individual rights.
This conference seeks to explore the interaction between armed conflicts and the EU鈥檚 AFSJ. How do ongoing conflicts shape the dynamics of EU constitutionalism in the AFSJ? What challenges do they pose for mutual trust and recognition in judicial cooperation? How does the EU鈥檚 response to external security threats affect its internal security governance?
