Buis和SONG Tianying在第一章中认为,前瞻性的国际法应该鼓励非西方人口众多的国家协商参与立法。邀请是超越给国家贴上标签,走向包容。参见Morten Bergsmo、Emiliano J.

Peace agreements often serve as roadmaps for peacebuilding and the reconstruction of the post-conflict state. They do this by, among other things, delineating issues to be addressed as part of the transition from conflict to peace, reforms to be enacted, and the groups that are to benefit from them. It follows that what and who is included in a peace agreement matters. Often overlooked in the scholarship, however, are the potential implications—positive and negative—of the language adopted in peace agreements. With attention to language, this article examines how peace agreements address a particular but salient issue: child protection. It first provides an overview of existing provisions on the subject before contemplating the disempowering potential of the terminology used. The article demonstrates the need for more clarity in how commitments are constructed in peace agreements.

ABSTRACTMigrant workers, both regular and irregular, are at particular risk of having their rights violated. At the same time, there has been an absence of support for exploited immigrant workers from Swedish authorities and civil society. Lately, a number of trade unions and semi-union organisations in Sweden have developed methods to mobilize the rights of migrant workers experiencing exploitation on the Swedish labour market. This article investigates strategies utilized by trade unions to mobilize migrant workers’ rights by engaging with the law and the courts. It draws on qualitative interviews with trade union representatives and court judgements from the Labour Court and other civil courts. We identify legal practices that range from immediate legal assistance and everyday negotiations with employers to litigation in court. We show how the practical, aspirational, and creative engagement of a small group of trade union representatives with the law and courts has generated a new form for mobilizing the rights of migrant workers in the Swedish context. This form of legal mobilization is both instrumental and political, driven by the rhetoric of class struggle and a belief in the rights of migrant workers.KEY WORDS: migrant workerslabour exploitationtrade unionslegal mobilization Notes1 SVT ’Statsministerns städerska utvisad – arbetsgivaren utreds fortfarande’ https://www.svt.se/nyheter/inrikes/stadsministerns-staderska-utvisad-arbetsgivaren-utreds-fortfarande, accessed 25 May 20222 The criminal investigation into human exploitation was closed, which allowed for her expulsion.3 Mål A 17/22; Arbetaren ’ 100 000 kronor till statsministerns städare’ https://www.arbetaren.se/2022/03/15/100-000-kronor-till-statsministerns-stadare/, accessed 25 May 20224 Hannah Lewis and others, 'Hyper-precarious lives: Migrants, work and forced labour in the Global North' (2014) 39 Progress in Human Geography 5805 See Michael McCann and George Lovell, Union by Law (University of Chicago Press 2020); Paula Mulinari and Anders Neergaard, 'Trade unions negotiating the Swedish model: racial capitalism, whiteness and the invisibility of race' (2023) 64 Race & Class 486 Amanda Latimer ‘Super-Exploitation, the Race to the Bottom, and the Missing International’ In: Ness, I., Cope, Z.
