Abstract The concept of “vulnerability” has become all-pervasive in EU asylum law and the ECtHR case law on asylum seekers and migrants, where it has acquired various legal meanings and functions. But many controversies remain on the legal nature, definition, and consequences of “vulnerability.” Based on lessons learned in the process of establishing the overall research design of the Horizon 2020 VULNER project and coordinating its implementation, this article identifies the contribution that anthropological knowledge can bring to ongoing legal debates and reflects on the conceptual and practical challenges that emerge when engaging in such an endeavor. First, the article shows the potential of anthropological research methods and concepts to shed light on the experiences of vulnerability as they are lived by migrants, and to reveal and question the underlying social and political dynamics behind the increased success of vulnerability in legal reasoning. Second, it argues that anthropology can only bring a useful contribution to legal debates on “vulnerability” if the knowledge it produces is adequately translated into legal reasoning—which requires acknowledging the differences between the goals of anthropological analyses, which are all-encompassing and seek to depict human experiences in all their complexities, and legal conceptualizations, which require establishing clearly defined notions that can be operationalized in—relatively—certain ways by decision-makers on the ground and that allow them to strike a balance between competing interests.
摘要“脆弱性”的概念在欧盟庇护法和欧洲人权法院关于寻求庇护者和移民的判例法中已经普遍存在,并在其中获得了各种法律意义和功能。但关于“脆弱性”的法律性质、定义和后果,仍存在许多争议。基于在制定地平线2020 VULNER项目的总体研究设计并协调其实施过程中吸取的经验教训,本文确定了人类学知识对正在进行的法律辩论的贡献,并反思了在从事这项工作时出现的概念和实践挑战。首先,本文展示了人类学研究方法和概念的潜力,以揭示移民生活中的脆弱性经历,并揭示和质疑法律推理中脆弱性日益成功背后的潜在社会和政治动态。其次,它认为,只有将人类学所产生的知识充分转化为法律推理,人类学才能为关于“脆弱性”的法律辩论做出有用的贡献——这需要承认人类学分析的目标之间的差异,人类学分析包罗万象,试图描绘人类经历的所有复杂性,以及法律概念化,这需要建立明确的概念,这些概念可以由当地决策者以相对特定的方式实施,并使他们能够在相互竞争的利益之间取得平衡。

Abstract This reflective article maps out the findings of a socio-legal study on language use in administrative settings in Belgium’s Dutch-language area. It explains how the author arrived at a socio-legal approach to this study object. Thereafter the article focuses on the methods used and the conceptual framework. It discusses the various methodological choices regarding data collection and the use of methods stemming from anthropology in this study. It also illustrates how anthropological literature on concepts such as discretion and multiple embeddedness provide conceptual tools for building a framework around which to structure and present the empirical data. The last part of the article sketches the findings of this socio-legal study. Drawing on the conceptual framework, it illustrates that even when practice deviates from statutory law, the relationship between the law and the practice cannot be easily captured in a dichotomic relationship. The author furthermore deduces some relevant findings in light of general human rights. The article concludes with some reflections on research that combines law and anthropology, both as separate disciplines and as a combined endeavor.
摘要这篇反思性文章阐述了一项关于比利时荷兰语区行政环境中语言使用的社会法律研究结果。它解释了作者是如何对这一研究对象采取社会法律方法的。此后,文章重点介绍了所使用的方法和概念框架。它讨论了在本研究中关于数据收集和人类学方法使用的各种方法选择。它还说明了关于自由裁量权和多重嵌入等概念的人类学文献如何为构建一个框架提供概念工具,围绕这个框架来构建和呈现经验数据。文章的最后一部分概述了这项社会法律研究的结果。根据概念框架,它表明,即使实践偏离了成文法,法律和实践之间的关系也不能轻易地被理解为二分法关系。作者还从一般人权的角度推导了一些相关的结论。文章最后对法学与人类学的结合研究进行了一些思考,这两门学科既是分开的,又是共同的。

Abstract This special issue of the German Law Journal showcases through concrete examples the conceptual and methodological toolbox that social anthropology has to offer and the added value of applying an anthropologically informed approach to legal thinking, argumentation, and practice. The contributions address a wide variety of highly topical, controversial social issues that are at the heart of the human condition, including gender recognition for non-binary people, family disputes brought before international courts, non-majoritarian language use in administrative settings, forced migration, and the impact of climate change and infrastructural development on local communities worldwide. This introduction outlines the research program into which the contributions gathered here fit; the choice of topics; and finally, the challenges the authors face in the process of integrating their intellectual encounter with anthropology into their reflections on law. The article concludes that taking recourse to anthropology can help jurists trained in state law to develop a more refined understanding of today’s societal complexity and challenges and, ultimately, to reach more nuanced, sensitive, and just decisions.
这期《德国法律杂志》的特刊通过具体的例子展示了社会人类学所提供的概念和方法论工具箱,以及将人类学知识应用于法律思考、论证和实践的附加价值。这些贡献涉及各种高度热门的、有争议的社会问题,这些问题是人类状况的核心,包括对非二元性人群的性别承认、国际法院提起的家庭纠纷、行政环境中非多数主义语言的使用、强迫移民、以及气候变化和基础设施发展对全球当地社区的影响。这篇引言概述了这里收集的贡献所适合的研究计划;选题的选择;最后,作者在将他们与人类学的知识相遇整合到他们对法律的思考过程中所面临的挑战。文章的结论是,诉诸人类学可以帮助受过州法培训的法学家对当今社会的复杂性和挑战有更精确的理解,并最终做出更细致、更敏感、更公正的决定。

An Illustration of Anthropology’s Contribution to Refugee Law Research 人类学对难民法研究的贡献

Abstract This article contributes to the debates on the role of anthropology in refugee law research by showing the added value of an interdisciplinary approach to the understanding of complex asylum claims related to cultural and religious beliefs that are unfamiliar to the Western perspective. Based on the analysis of asylum claims in UK courts involving witchcraftbased persecution in the country of origin—both applicants who feared becoming victims of witchcraft practices and those who could be accused of having engaged in witchcraft practices—I demonstrate how anthropology can provide the tools for bridging the gaps between the law in the books and its implementation in practice and solving issues that are beyond the scope of the law. In particular, anthropology can feed into a broader legal conceptualization that accounts for the realities of our diverse societies and helps explain how fear of persecution due to witchcraft can indeed be real and connected with serious human rights violations. Moreover, cultural expertise can assist in assessing asylum claims in their cultural, historical, and political contexts, affording the claimant a fairer and better adjudicated outcome. Nevertheless, the use of anthropology inevitably comes with some challenges related to the different fields’ epistemologies, languages, and styles, as well as a lack of appreciation for interdisciplinarity in some areas of academia.
摘要本文通过展示跨学科方法对理解与西方视角不熟悉的文化和宗教信仰相关的复杂庇护申请的附加价值,为人类学在难民法研究中的作用的辩论做出了贡献。基于对英国法院涉及原籍国基于巫术迫害的庇护申请的分析,我展示了人类学如何提供工具,弥合书籍中的法律与其在实践中的实施之间的差距以及解决法律范围之外的问题。特别是,人类学可以融入更广泛的法律概念,解释我们不同社会的现实,并有助于解释对巫术迫害的恐惧是如何真实存在的,并与严重侵犯人权行为有关。此外,文化专业知识可以帮助评估文化、历史和政治背景下的庇护申请,为申请人提供更公平、更好的裁决结果。然而,人类学的使用不可避免地会带来一些与不同领域的认识论、语言和风格有关的挑战,以及对学术界某些领域的跨学科性缺乏认识。

Re-reading Neulinger and Shuruk v. Switzerland: Bringing the Religious Dimension into View 重读Neulinger和Shuruk诉瑞士案:将宗教维度纳入视野
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.64

Abstract This Article offers an anthropologically informed rereading of the landmark case Neulinger and Shuruk v. Switzerland, decided by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in 2010. This rereading is undertaken by “going beyond judgments” temporally—i.e., reconstructing the case from its origins to present—and spatially—i.e., looking at different sources of data and putting them into conversation with one another. This approach draws on anthropology both conceptually and methodologically. Not only does it address “case law” and “litigation” as creations of a variety of social and legal agents, constantly and meaningfully interacting with one another, but it also adopts a “litigant’s perspective” and creates space for acknowledging aspects of the lived experience of the applicants that have been marginalized in legal reasoning. By doing so, this Article shows that, from being strongly imbued with religious considerations, Neulinger and Shuruk came to assume a neutral framing when entering and progressing through the ECtHR. “Going beyond judgments” ultimately foregrounds the image of the Court as an institution addressing and doing different things to different audiences and stakeholders, and showcases some of the ways through which multi-perspectivity and efforts to “humanize the law” may be incorporated into case-law analyses.
本文从人类学角度对2010年欧洲人权法院(ECtHR)裁决的具有里程碑意义的Neulinger和Shuruk诉瑞士案进行了重新解读。这种重读是通过暂时“超越判断”来进行的。,从起源到现在,从空间上重构案件。,查看不同的数据来源,并将它们彼此进行对话。这种方法在概念和方法上都借鉴了人类学。它不仅将“判例法”和“诉讼”作为各种社会和法律代理人的创造,不断地和有意义地相互作用,而且还采用了“诉讼人的视角”,并为承认在法律推理中被边缘化的申请人的生活经验方面创造了空间。通过这样做,本文表明,由于受到强烈的宗教考虑的影响,纽林格和舒鲁克在进入和通过欧洲人权法院时开始采取中立的框架。“超越判决”最终突出了法院作为一个面向不同受众和利益相关者并采取不同行动的机构的形象,并展示了将多元视角和“使法律人性化”的努力纳入判例法分析的一些方法。

“To Leave Is to Die”: States’ Use of Mobility in Anticipation of Land Uninhabitability “离开就是死亡”:国家利用流动性预测土地不可分割性

Abstract Climate change is profoundly modifying the earth’s environment, making certain territories uninhabitable. Faced with this known phenomenon, this article outlines a research approach for assessing the law’s role in encouraging states to preemptively protect individuals who live in deteriorating territories, notably by enabling mobility. The question is, however, far from simple, insofar as most of the ways to adapt to climate change—and particularly mobility, which has important human and social implications—require profound societal choices that anthropology has the tools to study. I therefore accompany my legal research with an anthropological approach centered around ethnography conducted at three sites—France, Guadeloupe, Senegal—where state-sponsored mobility is either being considered or already being used as an option to confront the progressive disappearance of land that is being swept away by the sea.
摘要气候变化正在深刻地改变地球环境,使某些地区无法居住。面对这一已知现象,本文概述了一种研究方法,用于评估该法律在鼓励各州先发制人地保护居住在不断恶化地区的个人方面的作用,特别是通过允许流动性。然而,问题远非简单,因为适应气候变化的大多数方法——尤其是具有重要人类和社会影响的流动性——都需要人类学所拥有的工具来研究的深刻的社会选择。因此,在我的法律研究中,我采用了一种人类学方法,该方法以民族志为中心,在法国、瓜德罗普岛和塞内加尔这三个地方进行。在这些地方,国家资助的流动性要么正在被考虑,要么已经被用作应对被海水冲走的土地逐渐消失的一种选择。

When Comparative Law Walks the Path of Anthropology: The Third Gender in Europe 当比较法走上人类学的道路:欧洲的第三性别
IF 1.3 Pub Date : 2022-09-01 DOI: 10.1017/glj.2022.65

Abstract Gender recognition is a crucial achievement for non-binary people. To better understand this right, this article combines comparative law with theoretical insights from anthropology to offer a discussion of non-binary recognition in European fundamental rights law. It identifies three approaches to such a right and critically assesses each of them. The first approach is denial, with the non-binary option being explicitly or implicitly rejected, as has occurred in French and Italian courts. The next approach is limited recognition, whereby a non-binary option is granted under specific limitations, such as when certain physical characteristics are present or when a claimant permanently identifies with the non-binary gender. This is the course of action that has been taken in German law. The third approach is gender self-determination, whereby individuals can obtain recognition on the basis of their declaration alone. This solution has been offered by the Belgian Constitutional Court. On the strength of findings from anthropology, the article argues that the first two models are incapable of genuinely engaging with gender diversity, while the third one offers more robust legal protection. The analysis presented here serves as an example of how anthropological insights can be effectively used to advance comparative law research.
摘要性别认同是非二元人群的一项重要成就。为了更好地理解这一权利,本文将比较法与人类学的理论见解相结合,对欧洲基本权利法中的非二元承认进行了探讨。它确定了实现这一权利的三种方法,并对每一种方法进行了批判性评估。第一种方法是否认,非二元选择被明确或隐含地拒绝,就像法国和意大利法院所发生的那样。下一种方法是有限承认,即在特定限制下授予非二元选择权,例如当存在某些身体特征时,或者当索赔人永久认同非二元性别时。这是德国法律所采取的行动。第三种方法是性别自决,个人可以仅凭其声明获得承认。比利时宪法法院提出了这一解决方案。根据人类学的研究结果,文章认为前两种模式无法真正参与性别多样性,而第三种模式提供了更有力的法律保护。这里的分析是一个例子,说明如何有效地利用人类学的见解来推进比较法研究。

Environmental Rights Between Constitutional Law and Local Context: Reflections on a Moving Target 宪法与地方语境下的环境权利:对一个运动目标的思考

Abstract Environmental rights such as the right to a sound environment and rights of nature, while playing an increasingly important role in global environmental governance and protection, frequently do not correspond to articulations of fundamental experiences of injustice by communities particularly affected by serious environmental degradation caused by, for example, extractive activities or major infrastructure projects. We present three empirically grounded case studies that employ concepts and methods from anthropology to demonstrate this. The work is still in progress, but sufficiently well advanced to present some findings. Our ethnographic research in Ethiopia and Mongolia reveals that vulnerable local communities take recourse to constitutional environmental rights far less often than expected. The reasons for this range from rule-of-law issues to local perceptions of vulnerability and relevant norms. Conversely, where environmental rights are demanded or claimed at the local level, they are often not translated adequately into the law of the state. Our case study on Ecuador, where rights of nature as a specific type of environmental rights have been included in the constitution, shows that transfers from local practice, while potentially having a transformative effect, may lead to conceptual selectivity, ambiguity, lack of clarity, and overlaps with existing state norms and, hence, redundancies. Environmental rights are, therefore, a moving target whose concrete added value hinges on context—as methods of law and anthropology serve to illustrate.
环境权利,如良好环境权和自然权利,虽然在全球环境治理和保护中发挥着越来越重要的作用,但往往与受采掘活动或重大基础设施项目等造成的严重环境退化影响的社区所表达的不公正的基本经验不相符。我们提出三个基于经验的案例研究,运用人类学的概念和方法来证明这一点。这项工作仍在进行中,但已经取得了足够的进展,可以提出一些发现。我们在埃塞俄比亚和蒙古的民族志研究表明,脆弱的当地社区诉诸宪法环境权利的频率远低于预期。造成这种情况的原因多种多样,从法治问题到当地对脆弱性的看法和相关规范。相反,在地方一级要求或主张环境权利的地方,它们往往没有充分转化为国家法律。我们对厄瓜多尔的案例研究表明,在厄瓜多尔,自然权利作为一种特定类型的环境权利已被纳入宪法,从当地实践中转移,虽然可能具有变革性的影响,但可能导致概念上的选择性、模糊性、缺乏明确性,并与现有的国家规范重叠,从而导致冗余。因此,环境权利是一个移动的目标,其具体的附加价值取决于环境——法律和人类学的方法可以说明这一点。

We present three empirically grounded case studies that employ concepts and methods from anthropology to demonstrate this. The work is still in progress, but sufficiently well advanced to present some findings. Our ethnographic research in Ethiopia and Mongolia reveals that vulnerable local communities take recourse to constitutional environmental rights far less often than expected. The reasons for this range from rule-of-law issues to local perceptions of vulnerability and relevant norms. Conversely, where environmental rights are demanded or claimed at the local level, they are often not translated adequately into the law of the state. Our case study on Ecuador, where rights of nature as a specific type of environmental rights have been included in the constitution, shows that transfers from local practice, while potentially having a transformative effect, may lead to conceptual selectivity, ambiguity, lack of clarity, and overlaps with existing state norms and, hence, redundancies.
