Even though the concept of responsibility is well established in international law, it is primarily discussed in the context of independent state responsibility. Can international law also make sense of the concept of shared responsibility of multiple states for their contribution to a single harmful outcome? This idea of shared responsibility has become increasingly important in our era of globalisation and increased collaboration between states. \u0000 \u0000The first part analyses the concept of shared responsibility in international law, employing deontological arguments on the relation between agency and responsibility. The second part investigates whether multiple states can have a shared responsibility in international law for securing the necessary conditions for people to have their human right to live a dignified life ensured. Can we hold affluent societies responsible when they have set up a global structure of interstate cooperation that violates human rights of the global poor? The ultimate aim of the chapter is to investigate whether the relevant philosophical arguments as developed in this book can be translated into the international-legal realm.","PeriodicalId":109691,"journal":{"name":"The Human Right to a Dignified Existence in an International Context","volume":"74 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132337942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cornelisse","doi":"10.5771/9783845299297-95","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5771/9783845299297-95","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter zooms in on the legal regulation of human mobility in Europe by making use of the concept of human dignity. The chapter analyses the way in which the European Convention of Human Rights and EU law protect seriously ill migrants against removal, as well as EU asylum law that requires asylum seekers to be provided with dignified standards of living. We will see that current European regulation and case law raises the question whether protecting the dignity of migrants is a matter of justice or a matter of humanitarian concern. While there is a certain narrow core of the right not to be subjected to inhuman or degrading treatment that applies irrespective of the legal relationship between individual and state, the periphery of this right covers a whole range of harms which will be seen as dignity harm depending on the way in which the law has regulated relations between states and individuals. Despite its rhetorical reliance on universality, human rights law does not apply fully outside the confines of the institutional (as contrasted to factual) relationship between state and individual, which raises urgent problems with regard to adjudicating transnational justice.","PeriodicalId":109691,"journal":{"name":"The Human Right to a Dignified Existence in an International Context","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133124400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
