LAW JOURNAL / LAW REVIEW
Since its formal inception in 1648 with the Treaty of Westphalia , the subject and practice of international law has given rise to interminable debates over its precise character, application, and degree of effectiveness. These debates are largely centered on–and determined by–the extent to which sovereign nation-states are willing to cede their exclusive claim of a right to exercise supreme authority over a given territory to a supranational entity. As a result, the body of Treaties and customary norms that one regards today as comprising international law are of a relatively ambiguous character. According to the United Nations, the goal of international law is to encourage “respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms,”and yet it must also pledge to abstain from intervening “in matters which are essentially within the domestic jurisdiction of any State.”Although ostensibly contradictory, these two goals are not necessarily mutually-exclusive of one another. What is missing–and consequently what prevents international law from realizing its full potential as a regulator of state actions–is a guiding principle or strategy to justify its response to humanitarian crises. In what follows, I argue in support of a qualified notion of human rights as the end or purpose to which international law ought to be directed.
