22
Q

How does the idea of HR help to define what it is to be human according to Shani + critics

A

HR tied to the idea of human dignity ans recognition indiv as moral and legal subjects

HR help to affirm the intrinsict worth of every individual, transcending boundaries ans cultural differences

…affirming dignity, autonomy, equality but must be apply equitabily to truelly serve humanity not only privileged or powerfull

BUT UNIVERAL HR historically:
. Enforced and created in ways that reflect values and interests of powerfull states
. Marginalise minority ( like indigenous people) until the 20th
. Critic of the western-centric view: often values emerged from the enlightenment thoughts and may not align with non-western traditions and culture
. HR developped alongside colonialism and slavery

23
Q

How does pur understanding of identity matter for how we think about migration according to Roxanne Lynn Doty +”solution”

A

. Identity shapes perceptions and policies around mig, so our understanding of it influences how we percieve it ( like V. Pin-Fat)
.. National id: migrants seen as a threat bcs not same cultural, linguistic traits
Lead to stricter immigration control

..othering: mig are outsiders, incompatible with society
Deshumanizes mig + justify restrictive policies

..global inequality and id: poorer country’s people are more restricted bcs their acts seems less legitimate
Shape how policies are

SOLUTION: take the expériences and perspectives of mig as our starting points
