Development summary

Joseph Choe examines the CBP One app in relation to the American government’s moral and legal obligations towards asylum seekers. The central legal problem is how this digital tool relates to the protection owed to people seeking asylum.

The work considers the app through the lens of foreigners and international protection law. The available evidence does not support a more detailed account of its methodology or conclusions.
