Unit 5: Mixed Movements
5.1 Migrants and Trafficked Persons
The mixed-movement’s problem (the flows together): the refugees-and-migrants-in-the-same-boats (the smuggling-routes-and-the-persecution mixed (the one-vessel-many-statuses reality)); the policy’s challenge (the differentiated-responses’ duty (the screen-and-identify discipline: the refugee-in-the-mix identification (U3’s RSD application at the border))); The trafficked persons: the trafficking’s definition (the Palermo-Protocol’s faces (the LAW5304-and-LAW5403-era companion: the act-means-purpose trilogy)); the trafficking-vs-refugee overlap (the persecution’s trafficking (the social-group nexus faces; the non-refoulement-to-the-traffickers)); the protection’s menu (the reflection-periods; the residence-permits’ victim-faces; the non-punishment (the victim’s crimes-bar)); the smuggling’s distinction (the Palermo-smuggling protocol: the migrant’s consent + the border-only face — the smuggling-vs-trafficking line).
5.2 Forced Displacement (Climate Change, Disasters (Natural and Human-made) and Development Projects)
- The climate-displacement (the frontier): the 1951-definition’s gap (the climate’s non-persecution (the definitional failure debate)); the protection’s faces (the complementary protection’s stretch; the PDD’s machinery (the Platform on Disaster Displacement — the Nansen’s successor initiative); the Kampala Convention’s IDP-model (the African domestication); the Teitiota-case’s face (the HR Committee’s non-refoulement-and-climate line: the risk-assessment’s application)); the future’s debates (the new-protocol proposals vs the guidance’s soft path).
- The disaster-displacement: the natural disasters (the earthquake-and-flood faces (the Nepal-2015’s internal-displacement experience)); the human-made (the conflict-and-industrial faces); the Guiding Principles’ application (the IDP frame (U1.4)); the cross-border-disaster’s gap (the temporary-protection practices).
- The development-displacement: the projects’ oustees (the dams-and-infrastructure displacement (the Nepal hydropower’s faces (the LAW5707-U6-type companion: the reservoir-displacement lore)); the IDP-debates (the development’s exclusion (the Guiding Principles’ development-faces debate)); the reset-and-compensation’s discipline (the development-justice questions — the LAW5701’s poverty-and-development companion).
