Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper analyzes the development of human rights law through the case study of the Alliance Israélite Universelle - a non-territorial Jewish network that flourished between 1860 and 1920, producing and sustaining a form of Jewish group identity with transnational public-political capabilities. I advance two propositions. First, that the efforts of the Alliance had a substantial impact upon the shaping of modern human rights law. Second, that, although the Alliance played an active role in institutionalizing the modern state system, its vision of human rights was very different from that embodied in our modern legal systems. These differences are revealed in an analysis of the role played by the Alliance during the negotiations over the Minorities Treaties at the Paris Peace Conference in 1918. The Alliance had historically supported individual rights for members of ethnic minorities, promoting the assimilation of minority peoples and civil and political equality in the public realm of the state. At the same time, the Alliance believed that the non-territorial ethnic community was different, with its particularity to be formally recognized and affirmed by the international legal system. However, the Alliance was ultimately forced to compromise this vision, arguing instead that minority ethnic communities receive cultural autonomy as groups within the state framework. These minority group-rights were confined to the private realm and fell short of political self-rule or the ability to act independently in international fora. This enduring configuration has left our modern legal discourse without the option of muscular non-territorial ethnic group identities, driving contemporary ethnic communities to seek territorial self-determination as a means toward international visibility.
