Humanity's Law by Ruti Teitel
A powerful account of one of the central transformations of the post-Cold War era: the profound normative shift in the international legal order from prioritizing state security to protecting human security
Ruti Teitels Humanity's Law, as an erudite work of serious scholarship, provides a theoretical corollary to cosmopolitanism as a philosophical ideal and a political project that would appeal to a wide array of scholars and practitioners of international law pondering global accountability frameworks and governance beyond the confines of the statist paradigmThe book, therefore, offers an unprecedented opportunity to complement and enhance rather than find deficient and problematic a common vernacular in favor of a thoroughly pluralistic and humanitys-law-oriented outlook ... By recognizing a broader set of values and interests, Humanitys Law is an essential voice of global conscience in a world fragmented by conflict and torn between appeals to enlightened self-interest and spurs of selfless humanitarian compassion, and plays a decisively transformative role in furthering the humanity-based scheme of jurisdiction... * Joanna K. Rozpedowski, Law and Politics Book Review *
Humanity's Law is most compelling where Teitel documents the infiltration of these principles into mainstream legal thinking. ... gives name and texture to a significant shift that has been hidden in plain sight. * Charles Olney, Human Rights Review *
