    • The ethics of refugee prioritization: reframing the debate 

      Lippert-Rasmussen, Kasper; Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-29)

    • Group rights, collective goods, and the problem of cross-border minority protection 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-02)
      This article argues that there are both practical and conceptual reasons for relaxing the prevailing state-centric frameworks for minority protection in the global arena. The article discusses two example cases: the indigenous Sami and the Roma travellers. It draws on analyses of the kinds of rights protected by the key international minority rights documents, and the kinds of goods these rights ...

    • Indigenous citizenship, shared fate, and non-ideal circumstances 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-27)
      This paper discusses the notion of ‘citizenship as shared fate’ as a potentially inclusive and real-world responsive way of understanding Indigenous citizenship in a non-ideal world. The paper draws on Melissa Williams’ work on ‘citizenship as shared fate,’ and assesses some of the benefits and drawbacks of using this notion to understand citizenship in Indigenous and modern state contexts. In ...

    • Introduction: Symposium on Acceptable and Unacceptable Criteria for Prioritizing Among Refugees in a Nonideal World 

      Vitikainen, Annamari; Lippert-Rasmussen, Kasper (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)
      All persons have a right to seek and find asylum. Arguably, the international community, or the states that comprise it, have a duty to provide such asylum. In the present circumstances, such rights of refugees, or the duties of the receiving states, are not always fulfilled. Not everyone is able to seek, let alone find, asylum, and many refugees, all deserving of asylum, are left unprotected, ...

    • LGBT Rights and Refugees: A case for prioritizing LGBT status in refugee admissions 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-29)
      This article discusses the case of refugees who are LGBT, and the possible grounds for using LGBT status as a basis for prioritizing LGBT persons in refugee admissions. I argue that those states most willing and able to protect LGBT persons against a variety of (also) non-asylum-grounding injustices have strong moral reasons to admit and prioritize refugees with LGBT status over non-LGBT refugees ...

    • LGBTIQ+ prioritization in refugee admissions – The case of Norway 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-30)
      This article discusses some of the normative bases for the recent (2020) Norwegian policy prioritizing LGBTIQ+ refugees in refugee admissions. It argues that, when properly interpreted, this policy is compatible with the UNHCR vulnerability selection criteria but is not independently supported by it. Combined with some of the broader moral principles guiding refugee admissions – including both ...

    • On Being Good Gay: 'Covering' and the social structure of being LGBT+ 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-03)
      This essay discusses Cyril Ghosh’s analysis of the notion of ‘gay covering’ as an act of downplaying one’s gayness in the face of public expectations, and its countermove of ‘reversing cover’. I acknowledge, along with Ghosh, that both the demands to ‘cover’ and ‘reverse cover’ are problematic from the perspective of LGBT+ authenticity. I aim to show, however, that such acts of covering, and reversing ...

    • Refugee-based Reasons in Refugee Resettlement – The Case of LGBTIQ+ 

      Vitikainen, Annamari (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-06-28)
      This paper discusses a recent turn in the ethics of refugee resettlement which involves taking the interests of refugees themselves into account in the distribution of refugees among potential refugee receiving countries. It argues that there is an important category of interest that does not align with the two commonly held views on what is owed to refugees: ‘safety’ or ‘conditions of a good life’. ...
