Summary
Through the introduction of competences in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice (AFSJ) we are witnessing a progressive ‘vulnerabilisation’ of EU law. This chapter begins by explaining this problematic notion and then highlights the normative effects of vulnerability within the framework of human rights protection in the AFSJ. In particular, it advances the argument that the notion of vulnerability could enhance the effectiveness of human rights protection and raise the hitherto neglected profile of the justice aspect of the AFSJ, encouraging the development of a more sophisticated ethics of Member State duties.
