WiSe 22/23: Exporting Human Rights and Humanitarianism
Maximilian Klose
Kommentar
Since the Declaration of Independence, the United States has influenced and shaped global debates on equality, liberty, and self-determination – terms that have become deeply ingrained in our contemporary understanding of humanity. At the same time, slavery and Jim Crow, CIA-staged coups in Latin America and the Middle East, wars in Vietnam and Iraq, and places like Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay also bring to mind the many ways in which US actors have violated humanity’s most fundamental values. This seminar will investigate the influence that US actors in politics and the public had on the concepts of human rights, humanitarian aid, and humanitarian intervention from the American Revolution until the late 20th Century. This analysis will show how these actors have indeed contributed to the making of a more humane world, but also how they used the concepts for they own purposes or disregarded them entirely.
