Care and gendered work in reception centers in Finland
2019
PurposeThis paper focuses on how gendered processes of working life are (re)constructed and are also challenged discursively in paid and volunteer care and work in reception centers. The purpose of this paper is to show how caring work with asylum seekers can both enhance the traditional gender order and challenge it through enabling men to have opportunities to care.Design/methodology/approachThe data were produced through qualitative interviews among paid workers and volunteers in reception centers, and analyzed through a discourse analysis approach.FindingsThree discourses of care and work were identified: a discourse on solidarity and care; a discourse on control and order; and a discou…
‘We hugged each other during the cold nights’: the role of affect in an anti-deportation protest network in Finland
2021
This article analyses the role of affect and emotions in Finland’s first large-scale anti-deportation protest, the 2017 Right to Live protest in Helsinki. Despite deportation protests having recently gained scholarly attention, their emotional dimensions have not been sufficiently studied, especially as concerns the emotions of protestors with vulnerable legal status. This article is based on in-depth interviews with key activists in the anti-deportation protest network in Finland, including asylum seekers, refugees and Finnish citizens. The article argues that in order for the protest of asylum seekers facing the threat of deportation to become public and visible, it was important that cit…
Protection and principle of non-refoulement in the European Union
2020
Un principio fundamental vinculado al derecho de asilo es el de no devolución a un tercer Estado en el que exista peligro para la vida o la libertad del solicitante. Dicha regla se encuentra positivizada en el artículo 33 de la Convención de Ginebra de 1950 y desde este instrumento se ha incorporado tanto al Sistema Europeo Común de Asilo (SECA) como a las diferentes legislaciones nacionales, entre ellas, la española. Sin embargo, la especial situación a la que se enfrenta la Unión Europea ha hecho que este principio haya sufrido diversas vulneraciones y que existan intentos de convertirlo más en una directriz que en una norma de obligado cumplimiento. El objetivo de este estudio es insisti…
"A Detenção administrativa dos Estrangeiros irregulares na Itália e na União Europeia e o Direito humano fundamental à Liberdade privada e à ampla De…
2014
Na Itália, como em outros Estados da União Europeia, vem ocorrendo recentemente nos últimos anos o fenômeno da "detenção administrativa" dos cidadãos estrangeiros irregulares, bem como dos requerentes de asilo, a maioria proveniente da África, do Oriente Médio e da Península Balcânica. Esses imigrantes, pelo simples fato de terem ingressado irregularmente no território europeu, apesar da imigração ilegal não constituir delito, são privados da liberdade pessoal ou de circulação e permanência, sendo detidos pelas autoridades de segurança pública, às vezes sem a validação da autoridade jurisdicional, durante um período de tempo também muito prolongado, em determinados locais, formais ou inform…
Le hasard dans le droit de l'Union européenne en matière d'accès au territoire de l'Union
2019
The article explores the question of "chance" in the European Union Law in the field of the admission of third States citizens and asylum seekers to the territory of the European Union. Le hasard fait son apparition dans le droit de l'Union européenne en matière de d'accès au territoire de l'Union pour les ressortissants des pays tiers, meme pour les demandeurs d'asile ou pour les personnes en besoin de protection. Dans ce contexte, le hasard perd les caractères habituels qui lui sont reconnus par les Etats membres de l'Union pour devenir un instrument de dissuasion au service de la priorité politique de reduire les mouvements migratoires.
EU Migration policy to the test of fundamental rights
2021
The emergence of a common migration policy is recent, as the European Union tackles the issue of migration only belatedly. Common actions to regulate migration issues were implemented gradually from the 1970s, within a purely intergovernmental framework, then gradually within a common framework. This policy covers aspects relating to the entry and stay of third-country nationals on the territory of the European Union, the fight against irregular immigration and the control of external borders.The process of Europeanization of immigration and asylum rules has been a long and laborious one, and it remains unfinished due to states' attachment to their sovereignty. This is why the European Unio…

Migrants' and refugees' health status and healthcare in Europe: A scoping literature review
2020
Abstract Background There is increasing attention paid to the arrival of migrants from outwith the EU region to the European countries. Healthcare that is universally and equably accessible needs to be provided for these migrants throughout the range of national contexts and in response to complex and evolving individual needs. It is important to look at the evidence available on provision and access to healthcare for migrants to identify barriers to accessing healthcare and better plan necessary changes. Methods This review scoped 77 papers from nine European countries (Austria, Cyprus, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Malta, Spain, and Sweden) in English and in country-specific languages i…
Così in mare come in terra: cosa resta del diritto d’asilo e dell’orizzonte dei diritti umani
2021
Dopo avere illustrato brevemente i principi che sostanziano il diritto d'asilo, e la loro centralità all'interno del sistema dei diritti umani, il saggio analizza le politiche migratorie contemporanee per come agiscono ai confini dell'Unione europea, in special modo nel Mare Mediterraneo, e, in Italia, dopo l'ingresso sul territorio dei e delle richiedenti asilo. Queste politiche si dimostrano incompatibili con il rispetto dei principi dell'asilo, ed anzi strutturalmente improntate alla loro violazione, mettendo a rischio la tutela e l'esercizio delle libertà e dei diritti non solo per le persone migranti.
