In Humanity's Law, renowned legal scholar Ruti Teitel offers a
powerful account of one of the central transformations of the
post-Cold War era: the profound normative shift in the
international legal order from prioritizing state security to
protecting human security. As she demonstrates, courts, tribunals,
and other international bodies now rely on a humanity-based
framework to assess the rights and wrongs of conflict; to determine
whether and how to intervene; and to impose accountability and
responsibility. Cumulatively, the norms represent a new law of
humanity that spans the law of war, international human rights, and
international criminal justice. Teitel explains how this framework
is reshaping the discourse of international politics with a new
approach to the management of violent conflict. Teitel maintains
that this framework is most evidently at work in the jurisprudence
of the tribunals-international, regional, and domestic-that are
charged with deciding disputes that often span issues of internal
and international conflict and security. The book demonstrates how
the humanity law framework connects the mandates and rulings of
diverse tribunals and institutions, addressing the fragmentation of
global legal order. Comprehensive in approach, Humanity's Law
considers legal and political developments related to violent
conflict in Europe, North America, South America, and Africa. This
interdisciplinary work is essential reading for anyone attempting
to grasp the momentous changes occurring in global affairs as the
management of conflict is increasingly driven by the claims and
interests of persons and peoples, and state sovereignty itself is
transformed.
