Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: BRIDGING PERSPECTIVES SURROUNDING HUMANITARIAN INTERVENTION: INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS LAW, GLOBAL POLITICS, MORALITY, AND RACEFayth A. Ruffin, Esq., ABDDivision of Global AffairsRutgers University – Newark, NJ This paper explores the political will behind acts or omissions of humanitarian intervention arguing that the “responsibility to protect” people from mass killings and genocide within their nation cannot be accomplished by new socio-economic and political arrangements alone. Rather, Chimni’s vision of spiritualism in global public order as pronounced by Sri Aurobindo in the early 20th century must be taken into account. Far too long, state sovereignty has invoked dissension among lawyers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, non-governmental organizations and multi-national enterprises alike. Is globalization eroding it or does the status quo prevail? Armed with rivaling disciplines and opposing perspectives, these policy elites are drawn into a human rights discourse where humanitarian intervention, at times appears the anti-thesis of sovereignty. Given the rise of non-state actors, this paper re-conceptualizes state sovereignty as it intertwines with world politics, international law, and the human rights regime. This paper further examines competing considerations intersecting law, morality, and politics via international relations theory that is yet to be reconciled with the social construction of race. It concludes with a road map to bridge divergent perspectives thereby contributing to individual and collective growth of nations and peoples seeking a just world order.
