oikeanliikkuvuuden

Oikeanliikkuvuuden is a Finnish term that translates to "right to move" or "freedom of movement." It refers to the fundamental right of individuals to travel freely within their country and to leave and return to it. This concept is often considered a cornerstone of civil liberties and is recognized in many democratic constitutions and international human rights declarations.

The right to move encompasses various aspects, including the ability to choose one's place of residence, to change it, and to move between different regions or cities without undue restriction. It also implies the freedom to travel abroad and to re-enter one's home country. Historically, restrictions on movement have been used as tools of oppression, such as internal passports or limitations on emigration.

In contemporary contexts, the right to move can be subject to certain limitations, typically for reasons of public safety, national security, or public health. However, any such restrictions are generally expected to be necessary, proportionate, and non-discriminatory. The principle of oikeanliikkuvuuden is closely linked to other rights, such as freedom of assembly and association, as the ability to move freely is often a prerequisite for exercising these other freedoms. Debates surrounding immigration and border control often touch upon the balance between the right to move for individuals and the sovereign rights of states to regulate their borders.
