Protecting the Digital Rights of Asylum Seekers and Refugees
As displaced populations increasingly interact with technologies, effective digital rights protection is more urgent than ever. This panel discusses the role data protection law plays in safeguarding the rights of asylum seekers and refugees. It examines the legal and practical challenges that arise in ensuring privacy, consent, and fairness for these vulnerable individuals. Our panel aims to foster a collaborative dialogue between academia (particularly researchers of the AFAR project), NGOs, and data protection authorities to close gaps between law and practice and to empower displaced individuals to exercise their digital rights. To create a dynamic session, we will invite stakeholders from the fields of Data Privacy and New Technologies to attend our panel as guests. These stakeholders will be engaged during the Q&A session to provide additional perspectives and foster a vibrant, interdisciplinary exchange of ideas.

Questions to be answered:
- What specific challenges do asylum seekers and refugees face in enforcing their digital rights?
- How can data protection officers (DPOs) and related professionals make use of emerging regulations like the AI Act to safeguard privacy and fairness for asylum seekers and refugees?
- What role does collaboration among data protection authorities, NGOs, and academia play in protecting digital rights for displaced populations?
- How can digital rights frameworks for asylum seekers and refugees be strengthened to address the challenges posed by surveillance and automation?

Organised by Centre for Fundamental Rights - Hertie School with Cathryn Costello (moderator), FRANCESCA PALMIOTTO, Derya Ozkul, Joanna Parkin, Eleftherios Chelioudakis
