The Violence We Unsee: Human Rights Erasures in Supply Chain Capitalism
Violence caused by business practices along global value chains have inflicted myriad forms of massive harm and posed far-reaching regulatory challenges. The role that human rights could play in rendering corporate violence visible, remediable, and litigable remains quite contested. On the one hand, debates on business and human rights have driven a regulatory revolution over the last decade that is associated with the rise of the human rights du…
Who is a Human Rights Defender? An Appraisal of Labour Practices in the Human Rights Economy
The last decades have witnessed a conceptual opening of human rights practices, hitherto prerogative of a chosen few legal experts, towards a multiplicity of subjectivities. This afforded human rights scholarship to address subaltern histories and reckon with past exclusions. Conversely, critical deconstruction and empirical diversification have aggravated the seemingly basic, yet thorny quest for defining human rights activism and identifying hu…
Peace that antagonizes: Reading Colombia’s peace process as hegemonic crisis
This article explores how disruptive political conflicts evolve in peace processes by studying Colombian human rights defenders’ discourses about the peace process with the FARC-EP. While post-conflict scholarship has predominantly discussed violence and societal frictions as caused by legacies of war or flawed peace governance, I focus on the confrontations over political imaginaries that are endemic to peace processes. Through the lens of post-…
The Popular Appeal of Human Rights Activism: Reimagining Transitional Justice as a Political Struggle
How do human rights activists imagine transitional justice amid sociopolitical conflicts that surface after peace agreements? Since its inception in the 2016 peace accords, Colombia's renewed endeavor to come to terms with its violent past has been overshadowed by massive protests and political polarization. In this article, I argue that populism, defined as a grid of intelligibility to make sense of frustrated demands and engage in politics, can…
Peace through the lens of human rights: Mapping spaces of peace in the advocacy of Colombian human rights defenders
What kinds of peace do human rights defenders advocate? This question has become controversial in light of heavy criticisms raised against the scholarly paradigm that peace and human rights are co-constitutive universals. In this article, I explore how Colombian human rights defenders navigate potential tensions, erasures, and vested politics in their peace advocacy during the current peace process with the FARC-EP. I follow the trend in the geog…
Spatial Imaginaries and (Transitional) Justice in Colombia’s Borderlands
In-between Translation, Transformation and Contestation: Studying Human Rights Activism as Politics-as-Ruptures in Violent Social Conflicts
How can we study the politics of human rights activism in violent social conflicts? International Relations scholarship has long neglected the ambiguous political relationships between human rights activism and violent social conflicts. Addressing this gap requires new research methodologies that place the focus not on the normative or legal dimensions of human rights, but in how their usage constitutes the political. In this article I argue that…
The human rights project and the transformation of social (b)orders: On the political nature of human rights activism in the wake of the Zapatista uprising
Benjamin Gregg proposes the normative ideal of the human rights state as a means towards advancing his vision of the human rights project that locates the validity of human rights in their addressees. Reviewing the prerequisites for participating in the human rights state in the context of post-colonial societies, I argue that the human rights project requires a profound transformation of the social order towards an inclusive, rights-based system…
