Abstract

From Vietnam to Syria, politicians, commentators and journalists have argued for and against intervention, whether it is military or humanitarian. The author presents here his extensive writings, charting the history of and the arguments surrounding intervention in Kosovo, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Do nations intervene because of right and wrong ? Is it simply a form of 'imperialism-lite' ? When is intervention justified ? He traces the evolution of 'liberal interventionism' and shows that scepticism towards it came and comes not just from a growing perception of its failure. Instead, he argues, that it displays worrying signs of merely laundering old-fashioned western imperialism, bordering at times on a crusader complex. The language and declared motives might be novel, but victim nations could be forgiven for wondering otherwise. The author here provides a much-needed and timely look at key instances - and mistakes - of international intervention in recent history.

Abstract

Around twenty years ago, a challenge was laid down to international law by those writing at the critical periphery of the discipline; a challenge that has yet to find satisfactory response. Although often (mistakenly) characterised as nihilist, this book seeks to recast it in positive terms; to pose the question of what – if anything – is left of international law and ethics if we accept both that apolitical rules are impossible and that the values that must – inevitably – be used to justify them are irreducibly, radically subjective. After detailed analyses of different political and international legal philosophers who have confronted this issue, the answer is located in a “turn to literature” and a rehabilitation of the ancient notion of rhetoric.

Abstract

The purpose of this book is to explore what role ethical discourse plays in public and private international law. The book seeks (1) to delineate the role of ethical investigation in creating, sustaining, challenging and changing international law and (2) to open up a conversation between two related disciplines - public and private international law - that frequently labor in different vineyards. By examining the role of ethical discourse in international law's public and private dimensions, this volume will hopefully open new avenues for cross-disciplinary exchange in these important fields and related disciplines. The chapters in this book show that there is a way to engage the ethical dimension of international law without seeking to use ethics as raw politics and the will to power.

Abstract

Just war theory focuses primarily on bodily harm, such as killing, maiming, and torture, while other harms are often largely overlooked. At the same time, contemporary international conflicts increasingly involve the use of unarmed tactics, employing 'softer' alternatives or supplements to kinetic power that have not been sufficiently addressed by the ethics of war or international law. Soft war tactics include cyber-warfare and economic sanctions, media warfare, and propaganda, as well as non-violent resistance as it plays out in civil disobedience, boycotts, and 'lawfare.' While the just war tradition has much to say about 'hard' war - bullets, bombs, and bayonets - it is virtually silent on the subject of 'soft' war. Soft War: The Ethics of Unarmed Conflict illuminates this neglected aspect of international conflict

The limits of international law.

Abstract

Crime contre l'humanité, patrimoine commun de l'humanité, intervention d'humanité, considérations d'humanité, mais aussi dignité humaine, sécurité humaine, développement humain... : l'humanité imprègne désormais le droit. Cette étude se propose d'analyser la portée de ce concept dans l'ordre juridique international. Le but est d'identifier les effets normatifs de l'humanité et d'examiner ses implications institutionnelles. Il s'agit notamment de préciser la manière dont l'humanité s'articule aux autres concepts, en particulier à celui de souveraineté. La présente recherche constitue la première thèse consacrée à l'examen systématique du concept d'humanité en droit international. L'idée défendue dans cet ouvrage est que le concept d'humanité complexifie l'ordre juridique international plus qu'il ne le bouleverse : les effets de ce concepts sont tangibles en droit international mais ils ne sont pas exclusifs. L'humanité n'entraîne pas la disparition de l'État ; en revanche, elle contribue à une redéfinition de la souveraineté. En effet, l'humanité est un principe fondamental du droit international mais elle n'est pas une personne juridique. Au titre de principe fondamental, l'humanité travaille en profondeur les droits de l'homme, le droit humanitaire, le droit de la bioéthique, le droit pénal international, le droit de l'environnement, le droit des espaces ; elle bouscule également le droit des traités et de la responsabilité internationale. Mais l'humanité reste un sujet passif du droit international public : titulaire de droits, elle est dépourvue d'une représentation qui lui permettrait de les exercer. Il n'est ni possible, ni souhaitable de mettre sur pied une institution centralisée qui incarnerait l'humanité. Les tentatives juridiques en ce sens n'ont pas porté leurs fruits. Aujourd'hui, ce sont les États qui, à titre principal, sont garants des droits de l'humanité. Ce mécanisme, cependant, n'est pas dépourvu d'ambiguïté. Dans l'optique d'une application efficace des droits de l'humanité, la communauté internationale, aujourd'hui communauté d'États, doit s'ouvrir à de nouvelles perspectives pour devenir communauté humaine. La gestion des droits de l'humanité doit être le fait d'une pluralité de mandataires.
