Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) The Law of Humanity Project: A Story of International Law Reform and State-making by Ukri Soirila
The 1990s and the first decade of the 21st century witnessed the sporadic emergence of a new vision of global law. Although the vision has taken many different forms all instances of it have been uniform in their attempt to radically alter how we understand international law by seeking to posit the human as the primary subject of the international legal order and humanity as its main source of legitimacy. Together this book calls these instances “the law of humanity project”. It provides the first comprehensive introduction and a fresh perspective to a discussion with important implications in the world today.
