Valley HR – Affirmative – RefugeesPlan
Resolved: The United States federal government should engage in Development Assisted Integration of refugees into local populations in topically designated areas. Contention 1: Refugee Integration --Currently, refugees are considered to be short term and are treated as such, leading to a reliance on a camp based approach. This causes tension between the refugees and the local population, health crises, and puts sever constraints on the refugees. Development Assisted Integration allows for voluntary entry of refugees into local populations, as well as strengthening of health services of everyone. Feldman, 2007 (Sara J, works for Migration and Refugee Services at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, “Development Assisted Integration: A Viable Alternative to Long Term Residence in Refugee Camps?” The Fletcher Journal of Human Security) Since the inception of the refugee protection regime… host governments, local populations, donors, and refugees. --Development Assisted Integration allows for much larger degrees of freedom for refugees to integrate into local populations while still maintaining the right to go home if wanted, all while expanding on local health service available to the entire population. Feldman, 2007 (Sara J, works for Migration and Refugee Services at the US Conference of Catholic Bishops, “Development Assisted Integration: A Viable Alternative to Long Term Residence in Refugee Camps?” The Fletcher Journal of Human Security) Like the other local integration schemes mentioned above, DAI is an approach…while donors and development organizations would need to put integrated refugee programs on their agendas.54 --The US is key- primary donor and everyone looks to them. Ogata 2k (Sadako, United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, “Ten Years of Refugee Work: Lessons from the Past, Directions for the Future, 11-15-2000, http://www.carnegieendowment.org/events/index.cfm?fa=eventDetail&id=233&) Ladies and Gentlemen, I have highlighted some of the challenges I see facing UNHCR,…and a great honor to serve this cause as High Commissioner. Contention 2: The Fun Stuff --The refugee embodies the failure to meet our obligation to the Other. Only by allowing integration of the refugees are we able to overcome our own egoistic self interests, and heed the call of Being. David J. Gauthier December 2004 MARTIN HEIDEGGER, EMMANUEL LEVINAS, AND THE POLITICS OF DWELLING http://etd.lsu.edu/docs/available/etd-11052004-163310/unrestricted/Gauthier_dis.pdf Like Heidegger, Levinas is concerned about the problem of modern homelessness…the self transforms the home into an instrument of ethical action.2 --We have an infinite obligation to the other, to deliberate on that obligation leads to violence. Fryer 2004 David Fryer The Intervention of the Other: Ethical Subjectivity in Levinas and Lacan p. 219-220 For Levinas, an origin is an-archic – a proto-foundation…I am awakened to the ethical structure of my subjectivity. --Our responsibility to the other comes before any questions of implementation and consequences. Even if our actions are counterproductive or our own death, we must attempt take action towards the other first. Bauman 1992. (Zygmunt. Emeritus Professor of Sociology at the University of Leeds. “He is known worldwide for his recent work in the social theory of modernity and postmodernity.” Mortality, Immortality and Other Life Strategies ] Pp. 207-208 But one can also be ready to die for the Other not… because one cannot go on caring while trying to escape it. --Statelessness leads to a lack of existence, a denial to the refugee’s value to life. TUBB 2K6 (Statelessness and Colombia: Hannah Arendt and the Failure of Human Rights, DANIELLE, http://www.undercurrentjournal.ca/2006III2%20-%20tubb.pdf) Hannah Arendt 10 identifies the most fundamental of all human rights … both loss of an Aristotelian polity and an expulsion from humanity (Arendt, 1985, p.297). --Our obligation to the other should exclude any interests with the sovereign that contradict it. Risk of disad should be not be used to exclude the refugees. Paul Miller, Australian National University 2004 Truth Overboard: What does it Mean for Politicians and Statesmen to Assume Responsibility for their Words of Mass Destruction? Borderlands Volume 3 Number 1, 2004 Firstly, while Levinasian ethics is an ethics of particularity and cannot tell us …rather than how best to exclude them. --GRANTING RIGHTS OF CITIZENSHIP IS THE ONLY ETHICAL WAY TO TREAT THE PALESTINIANS IN LEBANON - WE MUST COMBINE ETHICS AND POLITICS SMITH 1997 (NICK, PHD, “Incommensurability and Alterity in Contemporary Jurisprudence,” 45 Buffalo L. Rev. 503) Levinas claims that the political/ethical aporia is analogous to …and deconstruction is, at every turn, a political practice. --REJECT UTIL IN THE CONTEXT OF REFUGEES- RIGHTS COME BEFORE AND THIS IDEA HAS CAUSED MASS REFUGEE SUFFERING AND POLITICAL INSTABILITY BARKAN, Claremont Graduate University, 2K5 (FACTS, RIGHTS, AND REMEDIES: IMPLEMENTING INTERNATIONAL LAW IN THE ISRAEL/PALESTINE CONFLICT SPONSORED BY THE TODA INSTITUTE FOR GLOBAL PEACE AND POLICY RESEARCH: The Mirage of Rights – Response, 28 Hastings Int'l & Comp. L. Rev. 411 Rights famously exist beyond utilitarian considerations… that the refugees are made to carry the heavy burden. --Err on the side of the systemic problems refugees face now- their political predictions are as accurate as dart throwing monkeys. Menand 2005 (Louis ,phd Colombia and Robert M. and Anne T. Bass Professor of English and American Literature and Language at Harvard University., The New Yorker, 12-05-2005, http://www.newyorker.com/critics/content/articles/051205crbo_books1 ) people who make prediction their business… but heartened to think that there might be a way of raising the standard.
