This article addresses two questions: First, how does the value of human dignity distinctively bear on a state’s responsibilities in relation to migrants; and, secondly, how serious a wrong is it when a state fails to respect the dignity of migrants? In response to these questions, a view is presented about the distinction between wrongs that violate cosmopolitan standards and wrongs that violate the standards that are distinctive to a particular community; about when and how the contested concept of human dignity might be engaged; and, elaborating a three‐tiered and lexically ordered scheme of state responsibilities, about how we should assess the seriousness of a state’s failure to respect the dignity of migrants.

移民，国家责任和人的尊严

本文讨论了两个问题：首先，人的尊严的价值如何独特地影响国家对移民的责任？第二，如果一个国家不尊重移民的尊严，这有多严重呢？针对这些问题，提出了关于违反国际标准的错误与违反特定社区特有标准的错误之间的区别的观点；关于何时以及如何使用人类尊严这一有争议的概念；并制定了一个三层，按词法排列的国家责任计划，涉及我们应如何评估一个国家未能尊重移民尊严的严重性。
