Introduction to Symposium on UN Recognition of the Human Right to a Healthy Environment 联合国承认享有健康环境的人权专题讨论会导言
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.25

In July 2022, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution recognizing the human right to a clean, healthy, and sustainable environment. Its proponents hope that the resolution will catalyze further action, but many of the states voting for it expressed the view that it has no legal effect in itself. Will UN recognition of this right nevertheless change international law? If so, how? This symposium brings together the perspectives of six distinguished scholars on this question. Philip Alston and Carmen Gonzalez examine how recognition may change our understanding of human rights law; Hélène Tigroudja and Maria Antonia Tigre analyze its impact on the burgeoning environmental jurisprudence of the UN human rights treaty bodies and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights; Rosemary Mwanza explores how the right may affect parallel efforts to codify the crime of ecocide; and Louis Kotzé concludes by arguing that the right still falls short of the transformational shift necessary to recognize and protect the rights of nature and of future generations. Before describing their contributions in more detail, this introduction reviews the background of the resolution and describes its main provisions.
2022年7月,联合国大会通过了一项决议,承认享有清洁、健康和可持续环境的人权。其支持者希望该决议将促进进一步的行动,但许多投票支持该决议的州表示,该决议本身没有法律效力。联合国承认这一权利会改变国际法吗?如果是,如何?本次研讨会汇集了六位杰出学者对这一问题的看法。菲利普·奥尔斯顿和卡门·冈萨雷斯研究了承认如何改变我们对人权法的理解;Hélène Tigroudja和Maria Antonia Tigre分析了其对联合国人权条约机构和美洲人权法院新兴环境判例的影响;Rosemary Mwanza探讨了这一权利如何影响将生态灭绝罪编纂成文的平行努力;Louis Kotzé最后认为,这项权利仍然没有实现承认和保护自然和子孙后代权利所必需的变革。在更详细地介绍他们的贡献之前,本导言回顾了该决议的背景并介绍了其主要规定。

The Right to a Healthy Environment as a Catalyst for the Codification of the Crime of Ecocide 健康环境权促进生态灭绝罪的法典化
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-07-31 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.29
R. Mwanza
This essay explores some of the reasons why the recognition by the UN General Assembly of the human right to a healthy environment could catalyze the codification of ecocide as a crime under international law. It argues that even though the two concepts fall within distinct areas of international law, their potential for a synergistic interaction derives from the right's rhetorical and normative aspects. The right's rhetorical dimension refers to the communicative value derived from phrasing calls for responsive action in the language of rights, while the right's normative dimension alludes to its legal or juridical character.
本文探讨了为什么联合国大会承认享有健康环境的人权可以促进根据国际法将生态灭绝定为犯罪的一些原因。它认为,尽管这两个概念属于国际法的不同领域,但它们协同作用的潜力来自权利的修辞和规范方面。权利的修辞维度是指在权利语言中表达对回应行动的呼吁所产生的交际价值,而权利的规范维度则是指其法律或司法性质。

Introduction to the Symposium on Critical International Law and Technology 批判国际法与技术研讨会简介
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.24
Fleur Johns, G. Noll
Scholarship concerned with international law, technology, and computation has been burgeoning since the mid-to-late twentieth century. Over the past decade, it has taken shape as a discernible sub-field of international legal scholarship. An International Law and Technology Interest Group was created within the American Society of International Law in 2013, for instance. By 2021, international law and technology was already considered ripe for “rethinking.” Some of this work has been solutionist, aimed at generating order-restoring answers to the “upset[s]” caused by technological change. Some of it has been constitutionalizing, canvassing prospects for “a transformative constitutionalism for the digital human condition.” Much of the scholarship has sought to give humanist (or post-humanist) pause to the ever-increasing pace of technological change.
自二十世纪中后期以来,有关国际法、技术和计算的学术研究迅速发展。在过去的十年里,它已成为国际法律学术的一个明显的子领域。例如,2013年,美国国际法学会成立了一个国际法和技术利益小组。到2021年,国际法和技术已经被认为是“重新思考”的时机。其中一些工作是解决方案主义的,旨在为技术变革造成的“混乱”找到恢复秩序的答案。其中一些一直在宪法化,为“数字人类条件下的变革性宪政”的前景进行游说。大部分学术都试图让人文主义(或后人文主义)暂停技术变革的步伐。

Bias in Social Media Content Management: What Do Human Rights Have to Do with It? 社交媒体内容管理中的偏见:人权与之有什么关系?
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.23
Dorothea Endres, Luisa Hedler, Kebene Wodajo
In a global context where political campaigning, social movements, and public discourse increasingly take place online, questions regarding the regulation of speech by social media platforms become ever more relevant. Companies like Facebook moderate content posted by users on their platforms through a mixture of automated decision making and human moderators. In this content moderation process, human rights play an ambiguous role: those who struggle with marginalization may find a space for expression and empowerment, or face exacerbation of pre-existing bias. Focusing on the role of human rights in Meta's content management, this essay explores how the protection of speech on social media platforms disadvantages the cultural, social, and economic rights of marginalized communities. This is not to say that speech on social media platforms is devoid of emancipatory potential, but that this potential is not uniformly or equally accessible. We see the incorporation of human rights considerations into decision-making processes as an avenue for alleviating this challenge. This approach faces obstacles from the platforms’ business models, which decenters human rights concerns, and from the limitations of liberal accounts of human rights. From within and against these constraints, human rights can be mobilized as emancipatory power in an effort to decrease marginalization.
在全球范围内,政治竞选、社会运动和公共话语越来越多地在网上进行,社交媒体平台对言论的监管问题变得越来越重要。像脸书这样的公司通过自动化决策和人工版主的混合方式,对用户在其平台上发布的内容进行调节。在这一内容节制过程中,人权扮演着一个模糊的角色:那些与边缘化作斗争的人可能会找到表达和赋权的空间,或者面临预先存在的偏见的加剧。围绕人权在Meta内容管理中的作用,本文探讨了社交媒体平台上的言论保护如何损害边缘化社区的文化、社会和经济权利。这并不是说社交媒体平台上的言论缺乏解放潜力,而是说这种潜力不是统一或平等的。我们认为,将人权考虑纳入决策过程是缓解这一挑战的途径。这种方法面临着来自平台商业模式的障碍,这些模式分散了对人权的关注,以及自由主义人权观的局限性。从内部和克服这些限制,可以动员人权作为解放力量,努力减少边缘化。

Hiding in Plain Sight? Conceptualizations of Databases in Migration Law and International Tax Law 躲在众目睽睽之下?移民法和国际税法中数据库的概念
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.22

Databases are increasingly used in international law settings. This requires new strategies for those who want to critique international legal practices and their effects. In this essay, we claim that legal scholarship tends to conceptualize the database in ways that leave older and inadequate ideas of legal method(s) and sovereignty in the context of international law largely unquestioned or even serve to reinforce them. Further, we argue that these tendencies obstruct proper understandings of international legal practices and prevent adequate critique. To illustrate the extent of these tendencies, we provide examples from our own research areas: migration law and international corporate income tax law. We contend that empirical studies of how databases are used in these and other legal settings, can help demystify and rework well-established assumptions through which international law, and the database, are seen.
数据库越来越多地用于国际法环境。这就要求那些想要批评国际法律实践及其影响的人采取新的策略。在这篇文章中,我们声称,法律学术倾向于以某种方式对数据库进行概念化,使国际法背景下关于法律方法和主权的陈旧和不充分的想法在很大程度上不受质疑,甚至有助于加强这些想法。此外,我们认为,这些倾向阻碍了对国际法律实践的正确理解,也阻碍了充分的批评。为了说明这些趋势的程度,我们提供了我们自己研究领域的例子:移民法和国际公司所得税法。我们认为,对数据库如何在这些和其他法律环境中使用的实证研究,可以帮助揭开国际法和数据库的神秘面纱,并重新制定公认的假设。

Marine Ecosystem Bodies as Entangled Environments and Entangled Laws: Drones and the Marine Environment 海洋生态系统体作为纠缠环境与纠缠规律:无人机与海洋环境
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.19

The adoption of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) and the steady development of international environmental law in the twentieth century shaped the marine environment as an object of legal protection. However, the exponential growth of substantive obligations to protect the marine environment, conserve marine biodiversity, and prevent marine pollution, has been largely ineffective due to lack of enforcement. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) deployed for marine environmental protection are seen, in scholarship and policy, as a means to close the enforcement gap, thereby revolutionizing the field by significantly increasing states’ maritime awareness. In contrast, our tentative analysis shows that while UAVs can translate complex environmental concerns into data readily available for analysis and action, such datafication of marine environments comes with high risks. More specifically, datafication enables multiple uses of gathered data, including for surveillance, military, and commercial purposes. These concerns tend to fall outside current debates on the international regulation of the use of UAVs in marine environments. In our essay, we explore whether international law recognizes the possibilities and risks involved in deploying UAVs into the marine environment. We draw on doctrinal and posthuman feminist legal approaches to analyze how UAVs interact with the wider context of “marine ecosystem bodies” in terms of international law, as well as how those terms may need to be reconfigured to accommodate the complexity of the many actors, agents, and materials of marine ecosystems.
1982年《联合国海洋法公约》的通过和二十世纪国际环境法的稳步发展,使海洋环境成为法律保护的对象。然而,由于缺乏执行,保护海洋环境、养护海洋生物多样性和防止海洋污染的实质性义务呈指数级增长,在很大程度上是无效的。在学术和政策上,部署用于海洋环境保护的无人机被视为缩小执法差距的一种手段,从而通过显著提高各国的海洋意识来彻底改变这一领域。相比之下,我们的初步分析表明,虽然无人机可以将复杂的环境问题转化为易于分析和行动的数据,但这种海洋环境数据化具有很高的风险。更具体地说,数据化允许对收集的数据进行多种用途,包括用于监视、军事和商业目的。这些担忧往往不在当前关于无人机在海洋环境中使用的国际监管的辩论范围内。在我们的文章中,我们探讨了国际法是否承认在海洋环境中部署无人机的可能性和风险。我们借鉴理论和后人类女权主义法律方法,分析无人机如何与国际法中更广泛的“海洋生态系统体”互动,以及这些术语可能需要如何重新配置,以适应海洋生态系统的许多参与者、主体和材料的复杂性。

Automating Racialization in International Law 国际法中的种族化自动化
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.21
Priya Gupta
From the continuation of colonial power structures in global economic development institutions, to immigration policies that favor applicants from white-majority European countries, to the use of counter-terrorism law to target primarily Muslim people, international law and its domestic analogues reflect and further inscribe racial distinctions and hierarchies. Racialization in international law occurs in the more visible areas of public decision making but also in mundane, administrative practices. In this essay, I argue that digital technologies are at the heart of automating processes of racialization in international law. Digital technological instruments effectively divide the global population, decision by decision, in adherence to the logics of racial hierarchy: they distribute social and material rights and privileges through financial, welfare, and immigration decisions while simultaneously deepening and entrenching state surveillance, policing, and violence.
从全球经济发展机构中殖民权力结构的延续,到有利于白人占多数的欧洲国家申请人的移民政策,再到利用反恐法主要针对穆斯林,国际法及其国内类似法律反映并进一步规定了种族区别和等级制度。国际法中的种族化发生在公共决策的更明显领域,也发生在世俗的行政实践中。在这篇文章中,我认为数字技术是国际法中种族化自动化过程的核心。数字技术工具根据种族等级逻辑,一个决策一个决策地有效地划分了全球人口:它们通过金融、福利和移民决策分配社会和物质权利和特权,同时深化和巩固国家监控、治安和暴力。

The Critical Subject and the Subject of Critique in International Law and Technology 国际法与技术的批判主体与批判主体
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-06-26 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.20
G. Gordon, Rebecca Mignot-Mahdavi, Dimitri Van Den Meerssche
The making of legal subjects has long been a crucial terrain for critical theory, also in relation to international law, where both emancipatory promises and expressions of power or discipline are tied to how subjects are recognized and enacted. International law's modes of subject-making have therefore been an important site of aspiration, struggle, and critique. While some have celebrated the rise of the individual on the stage of international law, the liberal ideal of legal and political subjectivity lingering in these celebratory accounts has been confronted by different strands of feminist, post-colonial, and Marxist critique. With proliferating use of digital technologies in practices of (global) governance, the making of legal subjects has taken novel forms. Big data manufacture subjects in ways that spark new legal anxieties and destabilize or problematize established patterns of critical engagement. In data-driven practices that we will describe, subjects are no longer exclusively enacted as abstract autonomous entities or classified along stable criteria (of difference or enmity). Sustained by tools of pattern recognition and technologies for the “unsupervised uncovering of correlations,” nascent forms of global governance by data produce subjects as transient clusters of attributes and data points within transient clusters of attributes and data points—bundles of vectors within vectors, only tentatively and temporarily tied together. In this essay, we map out how this mode of subject-making has become prevalent in different domains of international legal practice. We trace these dynamics to changes in the exercise of state sovereignty and the technoscopic regimes—assemblages for information flow, processing, retention, and surveillance—that states rely on.
法律主体的制定长期以来一直是批判理论的一个关键领域,也与国际法有关,在国际法中,解放的承诺和权力或纪律的表达都与主体如何被承认和制定联系在一起。因此,国际法的主体制定模式一直是人们向往、斗争和批判的重要场所。虽然有些人庆祝个人在国际法舞台上的崛起,但在这些庆祝的叙述中,法律和政治主体性的自由主义理想一直受到女权主义、后殖民主义和马克思主义批评的不同流派的挑战。随着数字技术在(全球)治理实践中的广泛使用,法律主体的制定采取了新的形式。大数据制造主题的方式引发了新的法律焦虑,破坏了既定的批判性参与模式,或使其出现问题。在我们将描述的数据驱动的实践中,主体不再被专门制定为抽象的自治实体或按照稳定的标准(差异或敌意)分类。在模式识别工具和“无监督的相关性发现”技术的支持下,数据全球治理的新生形式将主体作为属性的短暂集群和属性的短暂集群中的数据点和数据点——向量中的向量束,只是暂时暂时地捆绑在一起。在这篇文章中,我们描绘了这种主体制造模式如何在国际法律实践的不同领域变得普遍。我们将这些动态追溯到国家主权行使和技术制度的变化,这些制度是国家所依赖的信息流、处理、保留和监视的集合。

Digital Economy and National Security: Contextualizing Cybersecurity-Related Exceptions 数字经济与国家安全:网络安全相关例外的语境化
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-05-08 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.18
Shin-yi Peng
This essay addresses the challenges of the digital economy in the context of cybersecurity threats that have growing implications for national security. It analyzes cybersecurity-related exceptions to international trade rules to explore whether and how these exceptions protect the state's digital policy space. The essay argues that the pre-digital era exceptions to trade rules are too narrowly framed to address cybersecurity concerns. This is in contrast to trends in the new generation of international trade agreements that create expansive security exceptions that are designed to reset the balance between international trade and national security. These new approaches must, however, be carefully guarded against potential abuses.
本文论述了在网络安全威胁的背景下数字经济的挑战,这些威胁对国家安全的影响越来越大。它分析了国际贸易规则中与网络安全相关的例外情况,以探讨这些例外情况是否以及如何保护国家的数字政策空间。这篇文章认为,前数字时代贸易规则的例外规定过于狭隘,无法解决网络安全问题。这与新一代国际贸易协定的趋势形成了鲜明对比,这些协定创造了广泛的安全例外,旨在重置国际贸易和国家安全之间的平衡。然而,这些新方法必须小心防范潜在的滥用。

Deterring Digital Trade Without Discrimination 不加歧视地阻止数字贸易
Q2 INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS Pub Date : 2023-05-08 DOI: 10.1017/aju.2023.15

Commercial activity and regulatory oversight of the digital economy are growing apace. This essay argues that regulatory heterogeneity can deter digital trade without discrimination. Domestic policies that are not discriminatory can still result in fragmentation of the global digital economy, if sufficiently heterogeneous. We find that rules at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and in digital trade agreements offer important directions but insufficiently mitigate heterogeneity. We suggest that heterogeneity should be addressed through the progressive expansion of international trade law. We emphasize the importance of encouraging regulatory coherence and pre-empting the formation of digital blocks.
数字经济的商业活动和监管正在迅速增长。本文认为,监管异质性可以毫无歧视地阻止数字贸易。非歧视的国内政策如果足够多样化,仍可能导致全球数字经济的碎片化。我们发现世界贸易组织(WTO)和数字贸易协定的规则提供了重要的方向,但不足以缓解异质性。我们建议,应通过逐步扩大国际贸易法来解决异质性问题。我们强调鼓励监管一致性和防止数字区块形成的重要性。
