Abstract

Financial crimes were recently recognized by the Conseil d’État, France’s supreme administrative court, as ‘serious non-political crimes’ for the purposes of exclusion under article 1F(b) of the Refugee Convention. Such an extension of the scope of article 1F(b) raises questions regarding the seriousness threshold of article 1F(b) and its link to bodily harm. A first approach would be to establish the indirect relationship between financial crimes and bodily harm. Another approach would be to discard the concept of bodily harm as being pivotal in understanding the scope of the exclusion clauses. This second solution would have crucial implications for the theoretical underpinnings of the exclusion clauses of article 1F of the Refugee Convention, namely on the concept of unworthiness. In this regard, the recognition of financial crimes as rendering an asylum seeker unworthy of protection highlights the link between exclusion and moral and societal concerns.
作为 "严重非政治性犯罪 "的金融犯罪:排除法中 "严重性 "和 "不值得 "概念的后果
金融犯罪最近被法国最高行政法院(Conseil d'État)认定为《难民公约》第 1F(b)条规定的 "严重非政治犯罪"。对第 1F(b)条范围的这种扩展引起了有关第 1F(b)条严重性门槛及其与身体伤害之间联系的问题。第一种方法是确定金融犯罪与身体伤害之间的间接关系。另一种方法是摒弃身体伤害的概念,将其视为理解免责条款范围的关键。第二种解决方案将对《难民公约》第 1F 条排除条款的理论基础,即 "不值得 "的概念产生重要影响。在这方面,承认金融犯罪使寻求庇护者不值得保护,突出了排除与道德和社会关切之间的联系。
