Madeleine Sumption, Director of the Migration Observatory
Most people would agree that we have a right to leave our country of origin. But since leaving one country usually means arriving in another, do we also have a right to immigrate? If so, how can this be reconciled with a state’s apparent right to exclude? We bring together a panel of philosophers and migration experts to discuss these and related questions.
