Study on Obstacles to Effective Access of Irregular Migrants to Minimum Social Rights
This publication examines the minimum level of social rights which illegal migrants are entitled to in Council of Europe countries, as well as obstacles to access. This is done in the light of the Council of Europe's concern to promote human rights, maintain social cohesion and prevent racism and xenophobia, in counterbalance to the more restrictive approach to illegal migration adopted by the EU. Topics covered are rights in relation to housing, education, social security, health, social and welfare services, fair employment conditions and residence rights.
The Legal Status of Migrants Admitted for Employment
Recent trends indicate that European countries are admitting more foreign workers to fill labour shortages caused by ageing populations and the increasing globalisation. Consequently, some European countries have adopted new laws and policies in order to attract both highly-skilled and less skilled foreign workers. However, the legal status of these migrants has become a matter of concern. The new measures do not entirely meet the established principles and standards of the Council of Europe aimed at protecting the rights of migrant workers, such as those of the European Social Charter and the European Convention on the Legal Status of Migrant Workers. This study focuses on the rules relating to the legal status of the main categories of migrant workers admitted for employment in some Council of Europe member states. It considers the important question of whether these national rules are structured in a way to assist migrants in their integration in the host country, in terms of granting them a secure residence status and economic and social rights, or whether they discourage or even prevent such integration.
Human Rights
Human rights refers to the concept of human beings as having universal rights, or status, regardless of legal jurisdiction, and likewise other localising factors, such as ethnicity and nationality. For many, the concept of "human rights" is based in religious principles. However, because a formal concept of human rights has not been universally accepted, the term has some degree of variance between its use in different local jurisdictions -- difference in both meaningful substance as well as in protocols for and styles of application. Ultimately the most general meaning of the term is one which can only apply universally, and hence the term "human rights" is often itself an appeal to such tr...
The Politics of Vulnerable Groups
This book describes and analyzes the conceptual ambiguity of vulnerability, in an effort to understand its particular applications for legal and political protection when relating to groups. Group vulnerability has become a common concept within legal and political scholarship but remains largely undertheorized as a phenomenon itself. At the same time, in academia and within legal circles, vulnerability is primarily understood as a phenomenon affecting individuals, and the attempts to identify vulnerable groups are discredited as essentialist and stereotypical. In contrast, this book demonstrates that a conception of group vulnerability is not only theoretically possible, but also politicall...

Wissen über Arbeit in Krisenzeiten
Argentinien war zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts eines der reichsten Länder der Welt, doch in der Bevölkerung herrschten Armut, Hunger und Wut. Die Befriedung von Arbeit und Kapital rückte nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg in den Mittelpunkt der Politik: Im Kontext der neu gegründeten Internationalen Arbeitsorganisation erhielt die Frage, wie international gültige soziale Rechte Demokratien und Volkswirtschaften in Krisenzeiten stabilisieren können, neue Relevanz. Simon Gerards Iglesias liefert neue Erkenntnisse über die transnationalen Dimensionen der Sozialpolitik in ihrer Entstehungsphase und beleuchtet die Komplexität des länderübergreifenden Austauschs zwischen Argentinien, Amerika und Europa.
