Crimes against cultural heritage
Despite being outlawed, attacks on cultural heritage remain a pervasive feature in atrocity contexts, the effects of which are compounded by a relative deficit of accountability at the international level. To remedy this gap, the Office of the Prosecutor (OTP) of the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued Policy on Cultural Heritage . However, crimes against cultural heritage are not fully articulated in the Court’s governing instruments. To l…
A Disturbing Portent of Future Harm”? Attacks on Cultural Heritage, Atrocity Crimes, and the Problem of Prevention
Preventing atrocities has garnered significant scholarly and practitioner attention. In 2014, the UN Office of Genocide Prevention issued a Framework of Analysis of Atrocity Crimes listing 14 risk factors and 143 indicators to support risk analysis and early action. Cognizant that conflicts regularly include deliberate attacks on cultural heritage, the Framework identifies fourteen indicators that pertain to culture and cultural heritage. Five ye…
Integrating Cultural Heritage into Human Security Analysis
The UN Development Programme introduced the human security concept in 1994 to address the diversity of challenges to people’s survival, livelihood, and dignity in seven key areas: personal, food, health, economic, political, community, and environmental security. A voluminous literature has since engaged its definitional parameters, theoretical implications, and practical applications. Yet neither dignity nor community security , defined in part …
World society and the globality of IR
Hybrid leadership councils
To address future challenges of planetary decision-making on key ecological and social issues in an increasingly nationalistic world, we propose a new global governance model of technocratic ascendancy that can be integrated with quasi-democratic norms. Our model proposes the creation of a series of self-organized “Hybrid Leadership Assemblies” (HLA) led by “Hybrid Leadership Councils (HLC)” and supported by a number of more specialized Issue Act…
Reading world society phenomenologically
Grounding world society
The concept of world society has elicited sharp criticism for being too diffuse and amorphous owing to its synonymy with all transborder social relations, equability with humankind, or conflation with solidarist international society. To overcome these shortcomings, this article reconfigures world society by attaching otherwise unmoored social activity to an understanding of the world as comprised of shared social spaces. This spatialised reading…
Making Human
Differences between human beings have long been used to justify a range of degrading, exclusionary, and murderous practices that strip people of their humanity and dignity. While considerable scholarship has been devoted to such dehumanization, Matthew S. Weinert asks how we might conceive its reverse—humanization, or what it means to "make human." Weinert proposes an account of making human centered on five mechanisms: reflection, recognition, r…
Reframing the Pluralist— Solidarist Debate
The pluralist—solidarist debate in English School theory — which concentrates on discerning the kind of international society in which we live — encourages overgeneralisations that either overstate international society’s presumed solidarity or vigorously defend instrumental commitments that underplay actual ethical advances. Building upon insights by Bellamy, Buzan and Hurrell, I attempt to extricate the debate from its current impasse by recast…
Becoming Sovereign
Property (and its adjunct use rights) is as central to sovereignty as authority (and its adjunct control rights). Willem Riphagen (1975) resurrected the medieval legal concept of usufruct (use) rights to understand the diverse, functionally-oriented sovereignty claims made by multiple nations over the Spitsbergen Archipelago in the Arctic Ocean. Fowler and Bunck (1995) furthered the claim in spirit if not in language by differentiating between so…
Being” Witness to Human Rights Abuse
An act of imagination accompanies every act of witness. Today, for instance, I saw a photo of a wristwatch. It was missing its wrist bands, had many scratches on its face, and a long crack running
