5. Medborgarskap och Mänskliga Rättigheter - En analys kring statslösa romer i relation till forna Jugoslavien
Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Mänskliga rättigheterSammanfattning : This thesis seeks to investigate possible relations between two status functions; citizenship and human rights-holder. The theoretical framework is built on two theories. Hannah Arendt’s theory is about statelessness as a way to un-willingly loose ones possibility to claim rights, since there is no apparent duty-holder. LÄS MER
