The human rights discourse has been justified by the need to move pastthe restrains and impunity that arose from nationalism and citizenshiprights. Although international criminal law has recently been imaginedas the scenario or theatre to reinforce the existence of a ‘political community of justice’ based on our common humanity, it has not been ableto displace the concept of state sovereignty. This shows how our ‘naturalindifference to others’ is not overcome by the simple use of language,by the subscription of covenants or by the creation of institutions andmechanisms for the adjudication of justice. |
