This book provides the first comprehensive introduction to the role
of humanity in international law, offering a fresh perspective to a
discussions with global implications. The 1990s and the first
decade of the twenty-first century witnessed the sporadic emergence
of a new vision of global law. Although the vision has taken many
different forms, all instances of it have been uniform in the
attempt of radically altering how we understand international law
by seeking to posit the human as the primary subject of the
international legal order and humanity as its main source of
legitimacy. Together, this book calls these instances "the law of
humanity project". In so doing, it also paints a picture of and
critically assesses a particular moment in the history of
international law - a moment which may have already come to a
sudden end as a consequence of the current populist backlash in
world politics, but during which it seemed inevitable that the law
of humanity vision would come to play an increasingly important
role in world affairs.
