Title of series: Human Rights Interventions

Abstract: 

Regina Kreide discusses the ambiguous ways in which the human rights in the European Union ‘protect’ and exclude Roma at the same time. Borders, Kreide argues, are multifaceted zones of infrastructure, and at the same time expanding areas of securitization. As long as borders are imposed coercively and, through this imposition, contribute to securitization, they are illegitimate. This becomes obvious through an analysis of Europe’s external and internal border politics, the growing entanglement between the two, and the inherent power of securitization of borders. The Roma, in being evicted, forced to move, and discriminated against in different ways, make intra-state and intra-European borders and practices of securitization visible, and reveal how the materialization of closing borders inherently affects negatively those who should be protected.
