This book argues passionately for a rehabilitation of the honour of historic events and processes, and of their role in generating legal concepts. Drawing primarily from the Marxian tradition, but also engaging with a range of contemporary work in critical theory and critical legal and human rights scholarship, this book analyses historical and recent international events and processes in order to challenge their orthodox interpretation. What is thus proposed is a new evaluation of international legal principles and human rights norms, the revolutionary content of which, it is argued, turns them from mere rhetoric into powerful weapons of struggle. Accessibly written, but theoretically sophisticated, this original and timely book is intended for critical teachers and students of international law, human rights, and international relations, as well as legal and political activists. =650 4$$a International Law-Philosophy =650 4$$a Human Rights-Political Aspects =990 ##$$a 10837/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10838/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10838/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10837/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10837/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10838/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10838/MKRI-P/XI-2008 =990 ##$$a 10837/MKRI-P/XI-2008
