Abstract
Menneskerettighedskrænkelser fandt sted i Europa under den europæiske migrantkrise. Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan stærk anti-immigrationsretorik, til tider fremmedfjendtlig (fjendtlig mod udlændinge), især fra højreorienterede partier i flere EU-lande, påvirkede behandlingen af migranter og banede vej for krænkelser af deres rettigheder. Specialet argumenterer for, at når migranter blev fremstillet som en sikkerhedstrussel, blev hårde tiltag, herunder statslig brug af magt, anset for legitime. Derudover peger specialet på, at manglen på en fælles EU-migrationspolitik fik landene til at handle hver for sig, hvilket yderligere prægede udviklingen i situationen.
Human rights violations occurred in Europe during the European migrant crisis. This thesis examines how strong anti-immigration rhetoric, often xenophobic (hostile toward foreigners), used mainly by right-wing parties in several EU countries shaped the treatment of migrants and enabled rights violations. It argues that framing the large inflow of migrants as a security threat made harsh measures, including state-sanctioned use of force, appear legitimate. It also contends that the absence of a common EU migration policy led countries to act on their own, further influencing how the situation unfolded.
