Human Rights Risks of Migration Flow Predictions and Policy Implications Within the EU
The call for reliable, timely, statistical migration flow data by governments, the humanitarian sector, and policy makers has become significantly amplified within the European Union (EU). While migration flow predictions could potentially be beneficial to migrants in terms of the allocation of recourses for humanitarian purposes and the burden-sharing amongst EU member states, such predictions risk jeopardizing migrants and refugees’ fundamental…
Forced Migrants In Europe and Their Cultural Rights: In Need of Minority Protection
Discussions and efforts to improve the rights of forced migrants in Europe are ongoing as the situation continues to be dire. All such discussions and policies though have completely neglected so far the protection that the human rights system recognises to members of minorities. This article argues that forced migrants are entitled to such minority protection. It further argues that their recognition, as beneficiaries of such protection will add…

The Rights Hero – Serious Games for Human Rights Education and Integration of Migrant and Refugee Children in Europe
Following the rise of migrant inflows in Europe since 2015, more than 210,000 unaccompanied children have arrived in Europe. This article argues that serious games can in principle fill the gap of human rights education that these children face and ultimately help them develop, but important issues and challenges need to be considered. The article follows the design and development of “The Rights Hero”, a prototype serious game for migrant childr…
Cultural and language rights of minorities and indigenous peoples
This article introduces the special issue of the International Journal of Human Rights on the cultural and linguistic rights of minorities and indigenous peoples. The right to cultural life is at the core of all human identities but indigenous peoples and minorities have particular rights to protect their collective identities, which are more easily eroded by dominant culture(s) or due to harmful practices such as involuntary assimilation. The co…
The Struggle of Indigenous Peoples to Maintain Their Spirituality in Latin America: Freedom of and from Religion(s), and Other Threats
This article argues that the (Western-oriented) right to religion has been proven inadequate in protecting Indigenous Peoples' rights. It recognizes that this is partly because of the distinctive characteristics of Indigenous religions, which differ from other dominant religions, but also because of the way in which religion has been used by colonialism with dramatic effects on Indigenous Peoples and their beliefs, spiritualities, and worldviews.…
Against integration, for human rights
Discussions on the refugee and migration European crisis have once again focussed on integration as a positive policy that enhances social cohesion. This article argues that the blanket endorsement of integration is wrong and its benefits overstated. The article goes against the prevailing belief by both states and international human rights bodies that ‘integration’ contributes to the realisation of human rights and to social cohesion. It puts f…
Indigenous Autonomy in the Americas
The American continent has a long tradition of autonomous regimes, both territorial and non-territorial. Autonomous regimes of American indigenous communities in particular have not been the subject of intense discussion and comparison, partly because the task of discussing such autonomous regimes in the whole of the Americas represents a huge challenge.
Indigenous Rights in the Russian Federation: The Rights Case of Numerically Small Peoples of the Russian North, Siberia, and Far East
There has been very little research on the rights of numerically small peoples of the North, Siberia, and Far East of the Russian Federation. Even though legislation has recently passed that improves their legal rights and notwithstanding the respect for indigenous cultures, the article reveals a considerable gap between general relevant standards of international law and the real situation of these peoples. Ultimate lack of political will and fo…
