INTERNATIONAL ANIMAL RIGHTS: SPECIESISM AND EXCLUSIONARY HUMAN DIGNITY

Volume 11, 2005 p.195

The primary goal of this paper is to act as a heuristic device, to suggest an unconventional but practical perspective on the evolution of international law. Upon surveying discourse on the History of International Law , texts of Treaties , and declarations and writings of influential philosophers of law and morality, an antiquated perspective of humanity is apparent. A convention in international law, and a reflection of a common idea which feeds the foreboding trend of how humans relate to the planet, treats humanity as distinctively separate from the Earth’s biodiversity. Though environmental law is beginning to recognize the necessity of conserving biodiversity, a subjugating conceptualization of other species has inhibited the development, application, and legitimacy of the principle of sustainability. The belittling view of other species in relation to ourselves also creates inconsistencies within international law and undermines the integrity and sophistication of its development. International human rights law is especially affected.

[Articles] Globalising Environmental Liability: The Interplay of National and International Law

Principles concerning liability for environmental damage are surprisingly underdeveloped in international law. Some countries consider that no development of existing law is needed because the issue has been adequately deal with under the International Law Commission’s articles on State Responsibility. Nevertheless, some 27 years ago, the Commission embarked on developing a set of specific principles. For reasons of political pragmatism rather than legal principle, the latest draft proposals of the ILC published last year have rejected strict liability in favour of loss allocation amongst different actors. The core principles of the proposals are critically assessed against the background of other international and regional initiatives concerning environmental liability. The ILC has been cautious rather than radical in its approach, perhaps understandably building on and consolidating existing modern developments in civil liability Treaties . Nevertheless, access to justice based on prompt and adequate compensation is core to the proposals, and the failure to make this an obligatory requirement represents a potentially fatal weakness.
