Abstract

The migratory phenomenon, like the principle of hospitality, is as old as humanity. But our time seems marked by a greater wave of migration because of regional and international conflicts, events marked by the destructive genius of man, so that we are entitled to ask what fate should be reserved for the migrant or more exactly on what ethical principle to base their reception. It seemed to us that the experience of hospitality and the Levinasian conception of responsibility could be a base on which to build a duty of welcome and hospitality towards the migrant who here takes the figure of the poor, the stranger who both demands and begs. Only the problem is the inscription of these principles in a legal formulation and a legal translation likely to make it a due law.
