The concept of vulnerability and its relation to the concepts of inequality and discrimination – a review article
The concept of vulnerability is – often implicitly – assumed to enhance the protection of human rights, particularly concerning the rights to equality and non-discrimination. This article analyses the relationship between vulnerability, equality, and non-discrimination by reviewing the academic literature on this subject. Four strands of argument can be identified: The first line of argument emphasises the advantages of the concept of vulnerabili…

Vulnerability’ in Decisions on International Protection in Austria
Academic literature and policy papers have suggested that using the concept of vulnerability leads to more substantive equality, including in the context of asylum. Although vulnerability is not explicitly mentioned in qualification criteria for international protection, the concept has found its way into relevant jurisprudence of international courts such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and into case law of Austrian courts. This ar…
Framing UN Human Rights Discourses on Climate Change
The concept of vulnerability is widely used in human rights policy documents, reports, and case law focusing on the impacts of climate change on human rights. In academic discussions, the concept, however, has also sparked a discussion on its benefits and challenges for the advancement of human rights, especially concerning the principles of equality and non-discrimination. This article aims at contributing to this debate from a frame-analytical …
International human rights and climate change (policies)
For more than a decade, UN human rights institutions have increasingly highlighted the impact of climate change on the enjoyment of human rights and attempted to influence (inter)national policy-making, including policy-making on adaptation. Feminist and post-/decolonial approaches have long criticised the fact that human rights discourses employ problematic narrative strategies that lead to gendered and racist distortions, biases, and in- and ex…
Cross-Border Disaster Displacement and Non-Refoulement under Article 3 of the ECHR
Academic literature and policy papers have suggested that the principle of non-refoulement can address the protection gap that exists for people displaced across international borders in the context of disasters and climate change. This article analyses whether non-refoulement under article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and subsidiary protection under article 15(b) of the European Union (EU) Qualification Directive could mee…
Human rights and the clean development mechanism
This article analyses the human rights implications of projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). While the CDM is likely to expire in the near future, the experience gained should be used to inform the rules of the new mechanism to be established under the 2015 Paris Agreement. We argue that the CDM and the new mechanism, as international organizations under the gui…
