Title: | Beyond Bilateralism: The New International Legal Order | Authors: | THIN, Sarah | Issue Date: | 2019 | Source: | EUCROSS Conference, Washington DC, 12.07.2019 | Abstract: | The traditional, bilateralist model no longer accurately describes modern international law, if it ever did. International law has undergone significant transformation, yet we have thus far lacked a theoretical underpinning through which to understand the new international legal order. The international community interest can provide this tool. Transcending the individual interests of states, it attaches instead to a shared system of values and common concerns, such as the protection of human dignity and the global environment. Fundamental changes to the international legal order-the increasingly cooperative and communitarian nature of international law-making; the objectivised legal consequences of international law-breaking; and the developing systemic framing of the international legal order-can all be explained and understood through the community interest. This is the new paradigm through which we can understand international law. | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/31114 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Conference Material |
