In commemoration of Haiti's impending bicentennial of independence debt, NYU hosted a symposium focused on reparative justice solutions for Haitians. The event featured a panel, "No Haven is Safe," that highlighted the challenges Haitian migrants encounter when seeking asylum due to systemic legal barriers. Experts, including Ninaj Raoul, shared personal experiences illustrating the inadequacies of immigration procedures. They underscored that understanding historical interferences is essential to addressing the current migration crises faced by Haitians and advocated for meaningful reform in how migrants are treated globally.
The interviews were pretty arbitrary - they pulled inspection officers off the border and brought all kinds of immigration employees to do these interviews, and they didn't have information about the country conditions that they needed to understand what Haitians were fleeing to determine fairly whether or not they should continue on to apply for asylum.
The symposium featured experts discussing how the colonial exploitation of Haiti has shaped the contemporary migration crisis, highlighting the legal barriers Haitians face in seeking asylum.
