Descrizione del progetto
Studiare le conseguenze e le implicazioni legali della vulnerabilità nei richiedenti protezione
Il concetto di vulnerabilità è sempre più utilizzato per guidare le politiche di protezione globale. Tuttavia, deve ancora essere chiaramente concettualizzato e le sue conseguenze pratiche e le implicazioni legali non sono ancora completamente comprese. Adottando un approccio critico e comparativo, il progetto VULNER, finanziato dall’UE, mira ad affrontare queste carenze concentrandosi sulla migrazione forzata. Per fare ciò, studierà come i regimi di protezione di alcuni paesi gestiscono le vulnerabilità delle persone che cercano protezione. L’analisi coinvolgerà due prospettive complementari: in primo luogo, in che modo i responsabili delle decisioni valutano e affrontano le vulnerabilità dei richiedenti protezione; in secondo luogo, in che modo i richiedenti protezione provano le varie forme di vulnerabilità. I risultati del progetto aiuteranno a far luce sul concetto di vulnerabilità e su come dovrebbe informare le politiche di protezione globale.
Obiettivo
‘Vulnerability’ is increasingly used as a conceptual tool to guide the design and implementation of the global protection regime, as illustrated by the 2016 New York Declaration for Refugees and Migrants and the subsequent adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and of the final draft of the Global Compact on Refugees. However, ‘vulnerability’ lacks a sharp conceptualisation and still needs to be accompanied by a thorough understanding of its concrete meanings, practical consequences and legal implications. This research project aims to address these uncertainties from a critical and comparative perspective, with a focus on forced migration. It will provide a comprehensive analysis of how the ‘protection regimes’ of select countries address the vulnerabilities of ‘protection seekers’. The select countries are in Europe (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Norway), North America (Canada), the Middle East (Lebanon) and Africa (Uganda and South Africa). The analysis adopts two different yet complementary perspectives. First, the way the ‘vulnerabilities’ of the protection seekers are being assessed and addressed by the relevant norms and in the practices of the decision makers will be systematically documented and analysed through a combination of legal and empirical data. Second, the various forms and nature of the concrete experiences of ‘vulnerability’ as they are lived by the protection seekers, including the resilience strategies and how they are being continuously shaped in interactions with the legal frameworks, will be documented and analysed through empirical data collected during fieldwork research. Ultimately, the very notion of ‘vulnerability’ will be questioned and assessed from a critical perspective. An alternative concept, such as ‘precarity’, may be suggested to better reflect the concrete experiences of the protection seekers.
