Descripción del proyecto
Estudiar las consecuencias y las implicaciones jurídicas de la vulnerabilidad de los solicitantes de protección
El concepto de vulnerabilidad cada vez se utiliza más para orientar las políticas mundiales de protección. Sin embargo, aún debe conceptualizarse de manera precisa, ya que sus consecuencias prácticas y sus implicaciones jurídicas no acaban de comprenderse por completo. Al adoptar un enfoque crítico y comparativo, el proyecto VULNER, financiado con fondos europeos, tiene como objetivo abordar dichas deficiencias centrándose en la migración forzosa. Para ello, estudiará cómo el régimen de protección de algunos países trata las vulnerabilidades de las personas que buscan protección. El análisis implicará dos perspectivas complementarias: primero, cómo los responsables políticos evalúan y abordan las vulnerabilidades de los solicitantes de protección; y, segundo, cómo los solicitantes de protección viven las diversas formas de vulnerabilidad. Los resultados del proyecto ayudarán a aportar datos sobre el concepto de vulnerabilidad y cómo debería contribuir a las políticas mundiales de protección.
Objetivo
‘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.
