Abstract
The goal of this work is to create an ethic-normative picture of the right of Sudanese
refugees in Egypt and the socio-political structures therein. Hereby, it is important to verify
the “right to have rights” and its denotation in the contemporary discourse on refugee
rights. It engages in the question how to combine the philosophical (what are rights? why
do we have them?) with the political approach (how to put rights into practice) towards
rights. As a sub-question this work will elaborate on the function of right for refugees in
third world countries. The central research question, however, remains: What is the legal
situation of Sudanese refugees in Cairo and how do we need to judge it through the
cosmopolitan lens of Immanuel Kant and Seyla Benhabib?
