Abstract

Abstract Albeit the object of compelling criticisms in recent decades, international organizations continue to occupy a very central place in the practical, conceptual, cognitive, imaginary, and emotional universe of international lawyers. This article argues that the resilient centrality of international organizations in international legal thought and practice is the manifestation of international lawyers’ love for such institutions. This article’s main aim is to provide an account of the drivers that inform international lawyers’ love for international organizations with a view to elucidating what lies behind the centrality of international organizations in international legal thought and practice. Among the drivers of international lawyers’ love for international organizations, attention is paid to the representations of international organizations as taking care of people, as showing where to look for power, as knowing so much, as romanticising history, as providing a shared standard of experience, as textualising the universe, as providing and organizing space for discontent, as expanding international lawyers’ field of study, and as holding many secrets.

对国际组织的热爱

尽管近几十年来，国际组织一直是备受批评的对象，但在国际律师的实践、概念、认知、想象和情感领域，国际组织仍然占据着非常重要的地位。本文认为，国际组织在国际法律思想和实践中的弹性中心地位是国际律师对这类机构的热爱的表现。本文的主要目的是阐述国际律师对国际组织的热爱的驱动因素，以阐明国际组织在国际法律思想和实践中的中心地位背后的原因。在国际律师对国际组织的热爱的驱动因素中，人们关注的是国际组织的表现:照顾人民，显示在哪里寻找权力，知识渊博，将历史浪漫化，提供共同的经验标准，将宇宙文本化，为不满提供和组织空间，扩大国际律师的研究领域，并持有许多秘密。

期刊介绍： After the Second World War in particular, the law of international organizations developed as a discipline within public international law. Separate, but not separable. The International Organizations Law Review purports to function as a discussion forum for academics and practitioners active in the field of the law of international organizations. It is based on two pillars; one is based in the world of scholarship, the other in the world of practice. In the first dimension, the Journal focuses on general developments in international institutional law.
