Abstract

ABSTRACT:In Fall 2014, frontline activists from Ferguson, Missouri traveled to Geneva, Switzerland to testify in front of the UN Committee Against Torture while the US government appeared before the body. The Ferguson to Geneva delegation participated in “shadow reporting,” which describes opportunities for impacted people to confront the state in a multilateral forum and challenge the state’s official account. Through this practice, ordinary people have an opportunity to shape international law based on their experience to suit their interests. Shadow reporting is a key platform for a critical form of transnational politics and contributes to an evolving view on the political nature of international law.

弗格森起义、影子报告与人权实验主义

摘要:2014年秋天，美国密苏里州弗格森市的人权活动家前往瑞士日内瓦，在美国政府出席的联合国反酷刑委员会面前作证。弗格森前往日内瓦的代表团参加了“影子报告”，该报告描述了受影响的人在多边论坛上与政府对抗并挑战政府官方账户的机会。通过这种做法，普通人有机会根据他们的经验来塑造国际法，以符合他们的利益。影子报道是一种重要的跨国政治形式的重要平台，有助于形成对国际法政治性质的不断演变的看法。
