Vulnerability as a concept of international human rights law

Abstract

V kontekstu človekovih pravic sta izraza ranljiv in ranljivost pogosto uporabljena za opisovanje tistih delov populacije, ki so ali naj bili deležni posebne skrbi in pozornosti. Prispevek obravnava ranljivost z druge perspektive: osredotoča se na jedro tradicionalnih človekovih pravic prve generacije - državljanskih in političnih pravic - in različne pogodbe, ki jih varujejo. Proučuje, ali imajo organi in sodišča za varstvo človekovih pravic prepoznaven pristop v pravni kvalifikaciji določenih posameznikov kot ranljivih, katere kriterije pri tem uporabljajo in kakšne so posledice tovrstne kvalifikacije. Članek ocenjuje, ali in v kakšnem okviru se eksplicitno ali implicitno razvija skupek pravil znotraj prava človekovih pravic, ki favorizira ranljive. Avtorja še zlasti zanimajo primeri otrok, ljudi, ki jim je bila odvzeta prostost, in pripadnikov etničnih manjšin.

Secondary title:	Ranljivost kot pojem mednarodnega prava človekovih pravic
Secondary abstract:	In the context of human rights the terms 'vulnerable' or 'vulnerability' are often used to describe segments of the population which are or should be the recipients of extra care and attention. This article looks at vulnerability from a different angle: its focus is on the 'core' of traditional first-generation human rights - civil and political rights - and the various treaties safeguarding them. It investigates whether there is a recognisable attitude of human rights bodies and tribunals to qualify particular individuals as vulnerable, which criteria are applied, and what the consequences of such a qualification are. The article assesses whether and in what context a body of law favouring the vulnerable is developing, either explicitly or implicitly, in human rights law. As examples, it looks, in particular, at children, persons deprived of their liberty, and members of ethnic minorities.
