Abstract

ABSTRACT The consequences of climate change are being experienced asymmetrically, with States which were exploited during the colonial era disproportionately bearing the costs. Among these States, the case of the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) is haunting due to their increasing uninhabitability amidst rising sea-levels. This article will interrogate the crystallized Western notion of Statehood and urge a vision of its four pillars as interconnected. By training a postcolonial lens, it will then exemplify the ways in which international law and policy has been constructed and wielded so as to invert the interests of the SIDS, thereby necessitating the proposed shift in the understanding of Statehood. The article will thereafter analyse the array of options available to the SIDS as recourse, with the endeavour of initiating a dialogue that is mindful of their particularities and trajectories.
印太地区的小岛屿国家:主权丧失?
气候变化的后果是不对称的,在殖民时代被剥削的国家承担了不成比例的代价。在这些国家中,小岛屿发展中国家的情况令人担忧,因为它们在海平面上升的情况下越来越不适合居住。本文将质疑西方国家地位的具体概念,并敦促人们认识到其四大支柱是相互关联的。通过培养一种后殖民的眼光,它将举例说明国际法和政策是如何建立和运用的,以便扭转小岛屿发展中国家的利益,从而有必要改变对国家地位的理解。这篇文章随后将分析小岛屿发展中国家作为追索权的一系列备选办法,并努力发起一项考虑到它们的特殊性和轨迹的对话。
