Abstract

The global justice debates frame the right to political membership and territorial rights by focusing on stateless individuals/refugees as claimants of the former and sovereign states as the claimants of the latter. Kant’s Right to Hospitality is often employed to reinforce this mode of framing rights. However, this mode of framing rights can lead to possible neglect of a people as an equally important right claimant. I employ a context-oriented interpretation of Kant’s right to Hospitality to highlight the non-state people’s claims to political membership and territory. I suggest that in Kant, while the non-state people are not in a civil condition, we can nevertheless recognize their provisional claims to the territory, which are forceful enough to exclude outsiders. Furthermore, the non-state people cannot be forced into a political membership with us or each other because we do not know the nature of obligations they may have towards each other. Recognizing these limits of our understanding can encourage philosophically thought-out modes of reframing indigenous people’s claims in our theoretical debates. In practice, it can promote an insightful attitude in negotiating their terms of political membership and land claims against the sovereign states.
政治成员的人权和领土的权利
全球司法辩论通过将无国籍个人/难民作为前者的索赔人,将主权国家作为后者的索赔人来界定政治成员权和领土权利。康德的款待权经常被用来强化这种权利框架模式。然而,这种界定权利的模式可能会导致人们忽视一个同样重要的权利要求者。我对康德的好客权进行了基于语境的解释,以强调非国家人民对政治成员和领土的主张。我认为,在康德看来,虽然非国家人民并不处于公民状态,但我们仍然可以承认他们对领土的临时要求,这足以将外来者排除在外。此外,不能强迫非国家人民与我们或彼此成为政治成员,因为我们不知道他们对彼此可能承担的义务的性质。认识到我们理解的这些局限性,可以鼓励我们在理论辩论中以哲学思考的方式重新定义土著人民的主张。在实践中,它可以在谈判其政治成员资格和对主权国家的土地要求时促进一种富有洞察力的态度。
