I am going to attempt to live tweet from the Law's Empire, Empires's Law stream @SLSA2018 #slsa2018
paper on researching #R2P asking the right questions responding to the wrong ones. #slsa2018
A return to R2P for me. 3 years of a PhD!
A brief history. 2001- ICISS report onwards
progressive language of #R2P hides limitations & existing problems
#R2P focuses on civil& political; ignores Esc rights. A death from poverty is still a death.
Intl community is undefined and complicit in problems it aims to save populations from.
Intl complicity in devpt programs, colonialism, presumption of intl community bystander status till violence.
Responses: "what would you do?"
"Crazy quasi Marxist"
"Who are you trying to reach"
"Can you improve it?"
Are these just issues arising from different ideas?
Raza Saeed speaks next on The Wrong of Colonialism.
Why question the wrong?
Ignorance of oppressions
Unveil these
More than the sum of all wrongs
Wrong 'as such'?
different forms of colonialism. Similar trends
Violation of territorial rights
Quote Lea Ypi. How is right to land acquired? Continued Use? First occupation? Legal jurisdiction?
Acquisition?
Usurpation?
Was C wrong bc it violates nationalism/self-determination?
Can become nationalist/exclusionary
Identities are not linear though.
Does the wrong lie in political structures?
Associative wrong. Coercion. Lack of reciprocity/consent. Ypi
Stilz: Undemocratic, unjust governance, associative
Renzo: Interactional wrong. Undermines capacity to self-determine. Destruction of political will.
Raza does not agree with some of these. Narrow understanding of the political project of colonialism.
colonialism was driven by seeing some humans as less than human
Colonialism presumes human inequality. A whole legal system based on inequality
Many current inequalities arise from the foundational wrong. Other wrongs not incidental but connected.
