Transnational human rights obligations as vehicles for global justice

Boekbijdrage - Hoofdstuk

Human rights law can contribute to development and global justice if it creates new duty-bearers, such as extra-territorial states and non-state actors. This is not to say that human rights are put at the centre of the global order, nor that such a reconceptualization alone can sharpen human rights’ global justice edge. The point is rather that in order for human rights law to claim potential relevance for development and global justice, it is necessary to incorporate transnational human rights obligations within it. Key to transnational human rights obligations’ real relevance for resistance to injustices is how they will map onto struggles of social movements and peoples, and hence on the law from below, as a law of resistance rather than one of domination.
