The civil war broke out on March 15, 2011 with the political tension between either domestically legitimate
or illegitimate actors in Syria so that many people had impelledly or forcedly to migrate neighboring
countries via crossing the land or maritime boundaries. These demographic transitions, in which many
people, particularly children lost their lives, led admittedly European and Middle Eastern authorities to
pursue the state of migratory exception policies. The state of exception revealing the homo sacer through
including the exclusion of bodies, considering the use of Giorgio Agamben, corresponds to the temporary
suspension of de facto legal norms, but the permanent state of this temporality. By problematizing the
exemplary cases from European and Middle Eastern countries, this paper therefore copes not only with the
exclusion of Syrians as homines sacri who are the subject of inclusionary techniques with regard to the
spatial management of boats, cities and camps but the outlawry of existing juridico-political capabilities,
also which may flexibly rule over the ways encompassing their lives and deaths.
