Abstract

States play the lead role in implementing the norms of the international system. They interpret norms through the lens of their sovereignty, refining and revising them until they are suitable to local interests and context. The complex nature of sovereignty and its diverse manifestations across states means that norms will be interpreted and implemented in different ways. This article argues that R2P and counter-terrorism are complex norm regimes which are susceptible to modification as they are interpreted through diverse conceptions of state sovereignty. Using the cases of China’s response to the Uyghurs and Sri Lanka’s response to the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, this article shows that the malleable prescriptive norms of R2P and counter-terrorism can be reinterpreted by states in ways contingent on their sovereignty that deeply impact, and may even violate, the original intent of the norm.

R2P和反恐:主权冲突之处
国家在执行国际体系准则方面发挥主导作用。他们从主权的角度来解读规范,不断完善和修改,直到符合当地的利益和背景。主权的复杂性质及其在各国之间的不同表现意味着将以不同的方式解释和执行规范。本文认为,R2P和反恐是复杂的规范制度,容易被修改,因为它们是通过不同的国家主权概念来解释的。本文以中国对维吾尔人的反应和斯里兰卡对泰米尔伊拉姆猛虎解放组织的反应为例,表明各国可以根据其主权,以一种深刻影响甚至可能违反规范初衷的方式重新解释R2P和反恐的可延伸性规范。
