Sažetak
“The ultimate question in this case is how Europe should recognise that refugees have ‘the right to have rights’, to quote Hannah Arendt” Judge Pinto de Albuquerque.Case of Hirsi Jamaa and others v. Italy, The European Court of Human Rights Hannah Arendt used the expression ‘right to have rights’ while discussing the situation of those who found themselves deprived from any rights at all: “Once they had left their homeland they remained homeless, once they had left their state they became stateless ; once they had been deprived of their human rights they were rightless, the scum of the earth.“ (The Origins of Totalitarianism) The concept of ‘right to have rights’ which was born in the experience of the Second World War found it's way into contemporary legal discussions on the rights of refugees and immigrants. Even though forgotten for a significant period of time, this concept was revived by Seyla Benhabib (The Rights of Others) and further explored both in legal argumentation (e.g. US Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren) and theoretical discussions (Lefort, Moyn, Maxwell, Hunt et al.). Following on current debates, we would like to question: 1. a normative interpretation of the concept: interpreting “right” in the phrase as a moral foundation for the possibility of human rights (Benhabib, DeGooyer) 2. function and usability of the concept in the context of contemporary debates about our moral and legal obligation towards refugees and immigrants.
