    Towards a global hierarchy of victimhood: global inequality, vulnerability and justice

    HEUNI Day 2022 - Towards a global hierarchy of victimhood: global inequality, vulnerability and justice Dr Katja Franko, Professor of Criminology, University of Oslo Ideals of universalism and the idea that all lives are equally valuable, and should be equally worthy of protection, form a standard narrative for human rights regimes and international legal instruments. Moreover, 'vulnerability' is becoming an increasingly important concept within EU law and decision-making. Yet, realities on the ground are marked by social arrangements where lives are de facto unequally protected. The lecture addresses one of the central criminological concepts and perspectives-that of inequality-and examines possible avenues for theorizing the dynamics of global security inequality and inequalities of victimhood.
