One of the main dilemmas of the current humanitarian crisis is the lack of interest of Western cultures in dealing with current immigration issues. In this book, we explore not only the ebbs and flows of migratory issues but also the lack of global jurisprudence to cope with human rights violations in the world. Although the nation-state is inclined to protect the lay citizens´ rights, under some conditions it acts as a key driver to systematic human rights violations. In our times, a moment of humanity where the “other” is considered as “undesired guests,” a hot debate on the future of human rights and the challenges faced by liberal democracies to manage the current humanitarian crisis is necessary. The selected chapters have been authored by well-versed authors who dedicated their lives to the study of this phenomenon. The book interrogates further the failure of the United Nations to give a firm legal background to be applied contextually in practical terms.

Review

“Those of us who are not directly affected by humanitarian crises often disregard, discard, or forget the billions of people struggling around the world. Though we may be aware of their existence, we fail to love or understand them; we remain disconnected. Love is what can tether us and inspire their hope for life. Rethinking health, politics, communication, and hospitality– as this book does– is not merely a disciplinary demand, it is a requirement for academic bureaucracies. With this context, The Humanitarian Crisis in the 21st Century: Challenges of Liberal Democracies to Deal with the Humanitarian Crisis will help us leave our comfort zones to explore the reasons why we forget others and teach us how to celebrate life.” – Dr. Adrian Scribano, Argentine Sociologist and Researcher, Professor in Social Theory, Methodology and Epistemology, University of Buenos Aires
