Abstract
Although the rights to healthcare, education for children, work and security — even for undocumented immigrants — are mentioned in various international and European conventions (Weissbrodt 2008; see also PICUM 2007), they are inaccessible to many of those who need them (cf. Romero-Ortuno 2004). This dilemma exemplifies the ‘abstractedness’ of the law, that is, its availability in terms of international conventions and declarations, and at the same time its inaccessibility to those concretely in need of it.
Right is what is good for the German people
