讲座摘要：
International law has been reoriented to place the individual at its normative centre. This legal trend has, since the 1990s, been described as the ‘humanisation’ of international law. It consists in the emergence of ‘new’ human rights such as the right to a clean and healthy environment, the imbuement of all subfields of international law with human rights, the creation of international law-based, direct individual duties, and the consolidation of the individual’s legal status beyond human rights. ‘Humanisation’ occurs notably in the international law of armed conflict that increasingly allows for a co-application of human rights and acknowledges direct obligations of combatants and armed groups. In trade law and investment law, human rights-based approaches mitigate the relevant regimes’ primary goals and balance them against human rights. In areas such as refugee law, labour law, and development cooperation law, human rights serve as a complement and reinforcer. Human rights have most recently transformed even the jus ad bellum, and have powerfully stimulated climate litigation. This legal trend has been criticised with conceptual (doctrinal) and policy arguments across the entire ideological spectrum; and especially the human rights ‘inflation’ is being resisted.
The lecture engages with three critiques: that humanisation is a bedfellow of neo-liberalism; that it supports neo-colonial structures of domination; and that it is unduly anthropocentric and condones the ongoing ecologic catastrophe.
I respond, first, that we can and should distinguish between the atomised individual as an artefact of neoliberalism and the individual as a self-determining entity, and that humanisation can and should be attuned to economic inequalities. Second, humanisation can be ‘decolonised’ by integrating non-western traditions which combine communalism and individualism, in order to better situate individuals within communities and social contexts. Third, engagement with eco-centrism and post-humanism makes space for a ‘more-than-human’ international law that rests on an ‘entangled’ and ‘green’ humanism.
