Sammendrag
In many contexts, states have a duty to take special measures to protect
minorities. Does this duty include prioritizing minority over majority
refugees? To answer this question, we first show that a vulnerabilityfocused notion of ‘minorities’ is preferable to a numerical one. Given
the vulnerability-focused notion, there is a presumption in favour of
prioritizing minority over majority refugees. However, this presumption
is sometimes defeated. We identify five conditions under which this is
the case. In fact, surprisingly, under special circumstances, states should
prioritize certain majority over certain minority refugees.
