1990年代出现了处理公民身份问题的创新办法。后民族理论认为,欧洲少数民族不再需要民族公民身份,因为欧洲人权法院等超国家政治结构为他们提供了保护。剥夺国籍的公民权认为,由于欧洲成员国的理事会必须将人权原则纳入其管辖范围,因此现在在国家一级也可以获得普遍人权。欧洲穆斯林提出新形式的要求被认为是这一趋势的证据,因为宗教要求,特别是与头巾有关的要求,开始通过人权诉讼提出。本文通过对这种主张的结果的讨论,论证了后民族主义的局限性。虽然欧洲穆斯林确实在围绕人权进行动员,但在诉讼层面上没有证据表明这有助于他们赢得对其宗教或文化权利的承认。本文探讨了这一现象的原因。
Innovative approaches to citizenship emerged in the 1990s. Post-national theory suggested that European minorities no longer needed national citizenship because supra-national political structures such as the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) offered them protections. Denationalized citizenship held that universal human rights were now available at the national level too as the Council of Europe's member countries had to incorporate human rights principles within their own jurisdictions. New forms of claims-making among European Muslims were cited as evidence of this trend as religious claims, especially relating to the hijab, began to be made through human rights litigation. This paper demonstrates the limits of post-nationalism through a discussion of the outcomes of such claims. While European Muslims are indeed mobilizing around human rights, there is no evidence - at the level of litigation - that this has helped them to win recognition of their religious or cultural rights. This paper explores the reasons for this.
