The Summer Course on “Ius migrandi. History, Concept and Limits” has been organized by the University of Palermo International PhD Program on Human Rights jointly with the European Academy of Legal Theory and the Ecole doctorale de Sciences Juridiques et Politiques of the University of Paris X – Nanterre – La Défense. It will take place from the 4thto the 12th June.
Key concept. Our time is an age of migration and mobility and at the same time the age of human rights. On the one hand, the protection of individuals through human rights seems to require abandoning an exclusive territorial logic for legal and political institutions. On the other hand, states (and correlatively citizenship, as a privilege based on luck) appear to be the main tools for guaranteeing basic needs for individuals. From this perspective, limitations for immigration are reasonable and unreasonable at the same time. Some aspects of this contrast will be critically analysed. The Course will map some of its consequences and specifically the risks for the protection of human rights. Justifications and reasons of opposite trends, present in the evolution of political institutions and public policies (the tension toward global justice and the prevalence of localism, for instance), will be examined. Moreover, the study will focus on instruments able to reform intolerable iniquities.
The Summer Course will be hosted by the Dipartimento Studi su Politica, Diritto e Società (DPDS), piazza Bologni 8, 90134 Palermo.
Teaching hours will be 10.00 a.m. till 1.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m. till 6.00 p.m.
