THE FULL EXERCISE OF INDIVIDUAL IMMIGRANT AUTONOMY FOR A BETTER DEFENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS

This paper analyses how human rights serve as a basis so that the complex phenomenon of immigration, which has been affecting our societies for some time now, can unfold its full potential, in accordance with the higher values on which they are based.

In this sense, he highlights the figure of the free development of the personality as an operative means of the new phenomenon of immigration and its repercussions as a limit to individual autonomy. In a study of this type, the analysis of the figure of legal paternalism as opposed to the free development of the personality must be reinforced, with special incidence in matters of foreigners, more specifically, in the figure of the immigrant, which leads us to focus the study of this figure on the phenomenon of immigration for various reasons.

Of course, the social and political uproar that this issue is causing is not surprising. Apart from being an issue that affects various aspects, immigration must be analysed in all the facets in which it has repercussions, such as not only the limitation it implies for the free development of the personality of an individual who decides to move to a place other than that of his nationality as a way to freely develop his personality, but also as a social, legal, economic and cultural fact, which gives rise to population problems of discrimination, integration and xenophobia, and many other aspects that have repercussions on essential aspects of the human being.
