The quest for human responsibilities to complement human rights
The politics of climate change and the dismissal of Kevin Rudd
The Australian Labor Party's Kevin Rudd won the 2007 federal election partly on the basis of warming about human-induced climate change. As prime minister he set about implementing his election campaign pledge on climate change. But within three years he had been removed by his own party and the climate change issue down-graded on the political agenda. This article examines these events and comments on the importance of communications in politics
The future of the nation-state in an era of globalization
This article uses the business management technique of scenario planning to look at how the global order could evolve. It speculates on four 'futures': a continuation of the current order, so that much of what we currently see will continue well into the future ('Steady State'); greater international co-operation via a strengthened United Nations ('World State'); the continued decline of national governments in the running of economies with trans…
The third era of human rights: Global accountability
This article argues that the trend in the current protection of human rights may be seen as a revival of an old idea: governments are accountable for their actions. The protection of human rights has gone through three eras. In the first era, the Catholic Church in the Middle Ages claimed to rule from a divine mandate. This principle of natural law was a unifying factor in western Europe because it created a standard system of morality. The secon…
The failure of international action against terrorism
Progress on the so-called 'War on Terrorism' is slow. There is no agreed definition of terrorism and no consistent government policy in respect of it. Consideration of terrorism ignores the role of some governments in what could be regarded as terrorist activity, often with the connivance of others for reasons of political expediency. The special case of suicide terrorism is discussed in detail. It is concluded that the world is now exposed to a …
The Successes and Limitations of International Law and the International Court of Justice
The first two sections of this article deal with the irony that international law has severe limitations, yet it also has a good record for compliance. The third section introduces the International Court of Justice (ICJ), and the fourth section deals specifically with the limitations of the ICJ. The article concludes with some ideas for action. Its main point is that international law is often a neglected topic, even by non-governmental organisa…
Globalization: A long‐term view
The process of globalization is now the most important development in world affairs. It is the end of the world order dominated by nation states (or countries) and the beginning of an era in which national governments have to share their power with other entities, most notably transnational corporations (TNCs), inter-governmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). The process has to be viewed in its long-term historic…
Progress in the international protection of human rights
Great progress has been made in the international protection of human rights since 10 December 1948 (when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights). Amidst the doom and gloom of the media's reporting of current affairs, it is easy to overlook this progress. This article provides a definition of 'human rights' and examines early human rights campaigns. It then considers the areas of progress: human righ…
Globalism and humanitarian intervention
Not for 300 hundred years has the world undergone as big a change as it's now experiencing. The existing order of nation‐states—the "Westphalian System"— has eroded, and a new—as yet undefined—"global" era has beguji. In the new global order, nation‐states will have to share their power with inter‐governmental organizations (such as the U.N. and European Union), transnational corporations, and non‐governmental organizations until we devise some f…
Testing the South Pacific's nuclear patience
The specter of nuclear testing haunts the South Pacific. Recently elected French President Jacques Chirac has announced that his nation is resuming underground tests in the region. This rekindles concerns about France's most controversial policy in the Pacific. In April 1992 France suspended nuclear testing. South Pacific nations welcomed this development, as did peace and environmental groups. It seemed to be a turning point in a three decade ol…
Nuclear archaeology and Australian aborigines
Nuclear archaeologists are now working in Australia. They are sifting through the hundreds of thousands of metallic fragments left from the British nuclear tests in South Australia and assessing how to clear up the sites so the land is fit once again for Aboriginal habitation. Twelve British nuclear tests were held in Australia between 1952 and 1957, with the (non‐explosive) testing of nuclear components carried through to 1963. The Australian go…

An International Law of Guerrilla Warfare: The Global Politics of Law-Making
Australia and the Third World
Australia is both a 'Western' nation located in the 'East', and a 'Northern' nation located in the 'South'. Only three 'Northern' nations are located in the 'South'. South Africa will eventually become truly 'Southern', leaving only Australia and New Zealand. Australian policy towards the Third World has changed considerably in the last 10 years. The change, in so far as any distinct point can ever be identified for major shifts in political outl…
