Early Justifications of Indigenous and African Slavery in Colonial Latin America
This chapter inquires international law’s engagement with regard to Indigenous and African slavery in the Americas throughout the 16th century. First, it recalls that the initial set of laws governing slavery and forced labor in the Iberian American colonies drew from existing European medieval rules and institutions. Second, it explores the early debates that took place with regard to the morality and/or legality of exploitative practices target…

Annie Fitte-Duval (dir.), Droit et esclavages. Théorie et pratiques en Afrique et dans les Amériques (xve-xixe siècles)
Dirigé par Annie Fitte-Duval, cet ouvrage fait suite à un colloque international intitulé « Cadre juridique et pratiques locales de l’esclavage du xive au xixe siècle (Europe-Afrique-Amériques) ». Celui-ci avait été organisé dans le cadre du programme européen EURESCL (Slave Trade, Slavery, Abolitions and their Legacies in European Histories and Identities) à l’université Cheik Anta Diop de Dakar, du 13 au 15 avril 2010. L’objectif était alors de…
The Private as a Core Part of International Law
In “Gender and the Lost Private Side of International Law,” Karen Knop argued that “recuperating private international law as a lost side of international law can open up counter-disciplinary research on gender in the history of international law.” 1 In this essay, I use Knop's argument to revisit our understanding of the sixteen century “School of Salamanca” 2 and its importance for international legal history from a gender perspective. I focus …
Le projet émigrationniste de Mary Ann Shadd (1823-1893)
Dans cet article, j’examine un pan de la vie et de l’œuvre de Mary Ann Shadd (1823-1893), une abolitionniste canado-américaine, afin de déstabiliser l’historiographie dominante en droit international en matière d’esclavage. Privilégiant une approche intersectionnelle, j’essaie de replacer la « femme noire » au centre de sa propre histoire, plutôt que d’en faire une figure accessoire dans l’histoire triomphante de l’abolition de la traite négrière…
Le droit « façonné » par les pratiques coloniales
Cet article propose d’examiner ce que les circulations humaines font aux savoirs juridiques par le prisme des voyages effectués par des « pères visiteurs », un système propre à la Compagnie de Jésus. Dans la deuxième moitié du xvie siècle, deux pères ont été mandatés par les dirigeants de l’Ordre pour aller contrôler ce qui se passait au Brésil et pour y résoudre des problèmes particulièrement sensibles, dont l’esclavage. Quel(s) l’impact(s) les …
Comment et pourquoi écrire l’histoire du droit international ? Le cas de l’abolition de l’esclavage
Ces dernières années, plusieurs débats ont eu lieu entre les juristes internationalistes, d’une part, et les historiens et historiens du droit, d’autre part, sur la façon (« comment ») et les raisons (« pourquoi ») d’écrire l’histoire du droit international. L’objectif de cet article est de participer à ces débats au travers d’un cas d’étude : celui de l’abolition de l’esclavage et son inscription dans l’historiographie du droit international. Il…
A Forgotten Chapter in the History of International Commercial Arbitration
This article is part of the ongoing efforts to write a critical history of international arbitration in commercial and investment matters. It examines the ways in which the Spanish crown and its concessionaries set up a mechanism to settle legal disputes pertaining to the transatlantic slave trade. The transformation of asientos de negros from limited royal contracts to large-scale monopolies awarded to foreign chartered companies during the sixt…
Georges Scelle’s Study of the Slave Trade
In 1906, Georges Scelle defended his state thesis in the Faculty of Law at the University of Paris. The young scholar had taken upon himself to study the history of the transatlantic slave trade from a legal and political perspective. The result is a monumental work, in which Scelle traces the evolution of the ‘ asientos de negros ’ – that is, the agreements that the Spanish crown signed with an individual, a company or another sovereign by which…
Concerning Violence
This article examines the debate on the use of force ‘from the periphery’, both in the geographical sense and outside the mainstream discourse. It offers an alternative reading of the evolution of the law on the use of force, starting not with the end of the Cold War, but with the process of decolonization. My argument is that this reading is missing from the debate framed as an opposition between a restrictivist and an expansionist camp. Yet it …
Overcoming Eurocentrism? Global History and the Oxford Handbook of the History of International Law
The article critiques the book "The Oxford Handbook of the History of International Law," edited by Bardo Fassbender and Anne Peters, focusing on the relationship between globalization and the law, as well as the reported efforts to overcome Eurocentrism in the history of international law. Author Robert Kolb and the rules governing the conduct of warfare outside of Europe are mentioned. The 1949 Geneva Conventions, slavery, and standards of civi…
The Rhetoric of Fragmentation
Over the last decade international lawyers have been increasingly concerned with the ‘fragmentation’ of international law. However, given that this expression has been repeatedly used by the profession since the mid-nineteenth century to depict the state of international law, one may wonder about its recent revival in the international legal discourse. Why has it re-emerged? What can we learn from previous invocations? An answer may be sought by …
