Toward Rejuvenated Inspiration with the Unbearable Lightness of Anthropology
How might the connections between anthropology and international law become more dynamic? I reflect upon this question in this essay using ethnographic insights from the documentary cycles of the UN Human Rights Committee, the treaty body monitoring state compliance with the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Building on recent anthropological scholarship on international organizations, bureaucracy, and documents, this essay di…
Mobile lives, immutable facts
The right to family has been confirmed by myriad human rights covenants and it forms an acknowledged part of migration policies. Yet family reunification has become an increasingly contested issue, something reflected in a recent restrictive turn in migration policies throughout Europe. Policy reforms speak of a growing polarity between, on the one hand, adherence to the 'best interest of the child' and family life, and on the other, suspicion of…
Where’s the well
For people on the move, family reunification has become a major ‘channel’ to Europe, and the ‘right to family’ is a widely recognized principle in international human rights protection and domestic legislations. Yet in practice exercising this ‘right’ is often difficult and migration buraucracies leave applicants unsure not only of the outcome of their applications but of the criteria that are relied on in the decisions. In this article we analyz…
Toward a Lasting Anthropology of International Law/Governance
For over a decade we have heard regular assurances that the time is ripe for a sustained anthropology of international law -and that this debate forms a natural alliance between (critical) international lawyers and anthropologists. Yet we seem to be getting nowhere with the actual project, namely a sustained and vibrant inter-disciplinary debate marked by a rich co-creation of theorizations and recurring exchanges of concepts. The aim of this rev…
Revisiting the Origins of Human Rights
Did the history of human rights begin decades, centuries or even millennia ago? What constitutes this history? And what can we really learn from 'the textbook narrative' - the unilinear, forward-looking tale of progress and inevitable triumph authored primarily by Western philosophers, politicians and activists? Does such a distinguishable entity as 'the history of human rights' even exist, or are efforts to read evidence in past events of the la…
Revisiting the Origins of Human Rights
"This book explores these questions through a collective effort by history, law, theology and anthropology scholars. Rather than entities with an absolute, predefined 'essence', this book conceptualizes human rights as open-ended and ambiguous entities. It taps into recent 'revisionist' debates, and asks: what do we really know of the history of human rights?"
