Abstract :The aim of this study is to proof the argument – i.e. ‘there are significant linkages  amongst tolerance, hybrid identities and migration.’ These linkages can be  comprehended by means of conceptualising extensions of hybrid identities in aggregate  trans/inter-migration processes. It can be put forward that arising hybrid identities are  embedded in a blurring structure of thoughts, beliefs, states of affairs, facts, belongings  and so forth. From multiculturalism and cosmopolitanism viewpoints, it is argued that  tolerance and migration ought to be analysed in frame of sociology of law, human rights,  international migration law, and of course the European Union law. So far, normative  arguments and soft law approaches are very much well integrated with social aspects of  migration, tolerance, identity and culture. In this context, the study examines to what  extent cultural and human components are protected by law in multiple levels from an  interdisciplinary perspective. In this framework, it is crucial to raise the research  enquiries: What are possible criteria for the limits of tolerance? To what extent tolerance  is related to human rights and morality? What ought to be the limit of tolerance towards  hybrid identities in multicultural and cosmopolitan societies? In a consistent manner, the  criteria and standards developed by some leading scholars were reconstructed and  discussed throughout this paper. These criteria and standards are both moral insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(part of a  universal system of morality); and legal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(international, supranational, or national – i.e.  constitutional);. In order to apply such standards their validity was discussed insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e. the  respective normative power has the norms at the various levels);. In the case of morals,  their difference to particular ethnic systems was established insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(i.e. criteria by which the  two can be distinguished);. Then the research argument was elaborated on whether and  how the legal standards comply with the moral standards, how national standards comply  with supranational or international standards. Likewise, the study highlights the crucial  contributions of “World Society and World System Paradigms” that are associated with  social space, global civil society, cosmopolitanism, ethnic diversity, cultural hybridity,  human rights activism and public sphere. Recent debates in Refugee Studies insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(e.g. Syrian  Refugee Crisis, Dual and Multiple Citizenship Issues and so forth); highlight the fact that  the European Union needs to consider new aspects of tolerance for hybrid identities and  tolerate cultural rights of hybrid identities, create cohesion in communities and establish  intercultural dialogue amongst home-states and host-states. Sanguinely, the efforts of  hybrid identities are strengthening the relations between home-host states and these  ought to attract some considerable attention. The authors of this study hope that their  endeavours may contribute somewhat towards that.
