Huneeus: The Three Faces of Non-Human Rights

Alexandra Valeria Huneeus (Univ. of Wisconsin - Law) has posted The Three Faces of Non-Human Rights (in The Oxford Handbook on Comparative Human Rights, Neha Jain & Mila Verstaag eds., forthcoming). Here's the abstract:

What does the emergence of rights of nature mean for human rights? For over a decade, scholars have been pointing to a long list of geopolitical factors that increasingly threaten the legitimacy and power of the international human rights order, with some auguring the end times of human rights (Hopgood 2013). But non-human rights pose a distinct kind of challenge, threatening to unravel human rights law from within its major premise. If non-humans also have fundamental rights, then human rights do not so clearly trump other values, and they must be balanced against, and perhaps even yield to, the rights of other beings. From this perspective, non-human rights are the Trojan horse –a gift wrapped in the seductively simple language of fundamental rights-- that could critically weaken human rights law.

But from another perspective, the novel claim is less disruptive than at first seems. Human rights have already proliferated to such an extent that no single right provides a trump card or clear guide to state behavior anyway: Decision-makers have long been in the business of balancing rights against other rights, interests, and values. Nature rights are simply a way of expressing values, and a mechanism by which to gain expedited standing before judges in environmental matters. By this telling, nature rights can exist alongside human rights law without upending it. They may make the rights edifice a bit more unwieldy than it already is, but they may also make it more responsive to environmental harm.

This chapter analyzes the evolving relation of non-human rights and human rights law in Latin America, the region where they first emerged and have undergone the most development, and where human rights law plays a salient role at the domestic and regional level. A review of judgments, laws, and social movements reveals that justifications for extending legal rights beyond humans fall into three categories. First are claims based on the species-level attributes of an animal or other creature: there is a quality of the being in question that demands a certain type of ethical treatment. This type of justification echoes the structure of most arguments for human rights, including deontological, utilitarian, and capabilities approaches. But it extends the protection of rights to animals that share with humans an essential quality, such as the ability to suffer. Second are claims based on legal pluralism: Law in a multicultural state should give voice to the views of indigenous and tribal peoples as well as Western legal traditions. If indigenous or other peoples so request, states should grant legal personhood and rights to natural features or “earth beings” that non-Western peoples hold as persons, or kin, and with whom they live in relation. Third are claims based on a new ontology: Some argue that it is time to rethink the most fundamental commitments of Western thought and, specifically, to give a different moral meaning to the distinction and relation between humans and non-humans, as well as the distinction and relation between the living and non-living.

Each of the three types of claims plays out in different ways in its relationship to human rights. These differences in the argumentative structure of rights of nature have implications for many of the questions that we are asking of this emerging body of law, including questions of effectiveness, implementation, and impact on other areas of law.

Morris: Economic Sanctions under International Law: Trade Continuity with Special Purpose Vehicles

P. Sean Morris (Univ. of Helsinki - Law) has published Economic Sanctions under International Law: Trade Continuity with Special Purpose Vehicles (Routledge 2024). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

The effects of US secondary sanctions are broad and are often designed to cripple the target country’s economy and currency. Some states have sought to circumvent these sanctions by setting up a special purpose vehicle to facilitate trade and financial transactions with the sanctioned country on humanitarian grounds. Although the nature of these special purpose vehicles is new and experimental, they are little understood, not least how they operate and function in international law. This volume addresses this gap by identifying and examining some of the legal issues that a special purpose vehicle such as the Instrument in Support of Trade Exchanges (INSTEX) generates. The collection brings together leading legal academics, sanctions practitioners and policy experts to provide an assessment of the special purpose vehicle in the context of secondary sanctions in international law. It will be of interest to researchers and academics in International law, Security law, Economic law and Comparative law.

Drumbl & Fournet: Sights, Sounds, and Sensibilities of Atrocity Prosecutions

Mark A. Drumbl (Washington and Lee Univ. - Law) & Caroline Fournet (Univ. of Exeter - Law) have published Sights, Sounds, and Sensibilities of Atrocity Prosecutions (Brill | Nijhoff 2024). The table of contents is here. Here's the abstract:

This book unlocks the look, sound, smell, taste, and feel of justice for massive human rights abuses. Twenty-nine expert authors examine the dynamics of the five human senses in how atrocity is perceived, remembered, and condemned. This book is chockful of images. It serves up remarkably diverse content. It treks around the globe: from Pacific war crimes trials in the aftermath of the Second World War to Holocaust proceedings in contemporary Germany, France, and Israel; from absurd show trials in Communist Czechoslovakia to international courtrooms in Arusha, Phnom Penh, and The Hague. Readers embark on a journey that transcends myriad dimensions, including photographic representations of grandfatherly old torturers in Argentina, narco-trafficking in Mexico, colonialisation in India, disinformation and misinformation pixelated in cyberspace, environmental degradation in Cambodia, militarism in Northern Ireland, and civil rights activism in Atlanta. Sights, Sounds, and Sensibilities of Atrocity Prosecutions reimagines what an atrocity means, reconsiders what drives the manufacture of law, and reboots the role of courtrooms and other mechanisms in the pursuit of justice. It unveils how law translates sensory experience into its procedures and institutions, and how humanistic inputs shape perceptions of right and wrong. This book thereby offers a refreshing primer on the underappreciated role of aesthetics, time, and emotion in the world of law.
