PrintRights, une coopérative de demandeurs d’asile sans papiers à Amsterdam, a confectionné des masques pendant la pandémie de Covid-19, les distribuant d’abord aux migrants sans papiers résidant au sein du système d’hébergement d’urgence de la ville, puis les vendant ensuite à un public plus large. En distribuant des masques avec des messages, PrintRights a inscrit son action dans le cadre du droit humain à la liberté d'expression pour résister de manière légale aux interdictions d’emploi de la loi sur les étrangers. Mobilisant la théorie de Judith Butler, cet article analyse la relation entre la résistance, la vulnérabilité et l’engagement stratégique de PrintRights avec le droit relatif aux droits de la personne. S’appuyant sur un travail de terrain effectué auprès de PrintRights, j’explore la manière dont le discours de la vulnérabilité dans le droit relatif aux droits de la personne peut soutenir l’organisation des migrants sans papiers.
