Abstract

The article analyses relate to the premise with rules of human dignity with the evaluation of the phenomenon of migration. For that, it accounts for a conception of human dignity that does not resort to naturalist or supra-empirical presuppositions, and presents three different alternatives to grant normative content based on a threshold sufficientarian (the theory of international relations of Rawls, Margalit decent society, and focus on the capabilities of Nussbaum). From these perspectives, held that the current treatment accorded to refugees, environmental refugees and economic migrants, threatening their dignity and must, therefore, give way to other ways of dealing with the phenomenon of migration.
