本文利用联合王国、瑞典、德国和瑞士的数据表明,在解释难民定义并将其应用于军事/国家服务方案(MNSP)的过程中,该定义受到各种不同的解释和适用。因此,对处境相似的厄立特里亚庇护申请的待遇因国而异。该条说明,来自选定司法管辖区的庇护法院排除了将MNSP归类为奴隶制的相关因素,因为它们未能与国际法对奴隶制的定义进行规范接触。调查结果表明,在评估基于奴隶制的保护申请时,国际法律文书的纳入有缺陷,会导致对难民定义的解释和适用相互矛盾,并可能不适当地使厄立特里亚的难民身份申请非合法化,使其成为“不受欢迎的移民”。
Drawing on data from the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany, and Switzerland, this article shows that during the process of interpreting the refugee definition and applying it to the context of the Military/National Service Programme (MNSP), the definition is subject to various interpretations and applications. As a result, the treatment of similarly situated Eritrean asylum applications differs from one country to another. The article illustrates that asylum courts from the selected jurisdictions sideline relevant factors that classify theMNSPas slavery by failing to engage normatively with the international law definition of slavery. The findings suggest that a defective incorporation of international legal instruments in the assessment of protection claims based on slavery contributes to conflicting interpretations and applications of the refugee definition and can unduly de-legitimise Eritrean applications for refugee status as ‘unwanted migrants’.
