Abstract

Our increasingly globalized environment, typified by the significant role of transnational interactions, raises urgent concerns about the commission of grave transnational wrongs. Two main legal strategies—belonging, respectively, to public and private international law—offer important directions for addressing these urgent concerns. One strategy extends state obligations under human rights law to some nonstate actors; the other adapts traditional private international law doctrines, notably its public policy exception. Both strategies make important advances, yet both face significant difficulties, which are all fundamentally rooted in what we call “the missing link of privity,” namely: identifying the reason for imposing the burden of plaintiffs’ vertical rights on putative defendants. In this Essay we argue that the moral underpinnings of private law provide the relational key to this missing link. We claim that private law’s normative DNA is premised on a profound commitment to reciprocal respect to self-determination and substantive equality. Because this commitment is the jus gentium of our private laws, it can and should be understood as a manifestation of our interpersonal human rights, which should function both as a premise for criticizing domestic rules and as the foundation of aggrieved parties’ standing vis-a-vis those who wronged them.
人际人权
我们日益全球化的环境,以跨国互动的重要作用为代表,引起了人们对犯下严重跨国错误的紧迫关切。两种主要的法律战略——分别属于国际公法和国际私法——为解决这些紧迫问题提供了重要方向。一种战略是将人权法规定的国家义务扩大到一些非国家行为者;另一种适用于传统的国际私法理论,特别是其公共政策例外。这两种策略都取得了重要进展,但都面临着重大困难,这些困难都从根本上植根于我们所说的“缺乏相互关系的环节”,即:确定将原告的垂直权利负担强加给推定被告的原因。在这篇文章中,我们认为私法的道德基础为这一缺失环节提供了关系钥匙。我们声称,私法的规范DNA是以对相互尊重自决和实质平等的深刻承诺为前提的。由于这一承诺是我国私法的属国法,因此它可以而且应该被理解为我国人际人权的一种表现,这既应该作为批评国内规则的前提,也应该作为受害方与冤枉他们的人站在一起的基础。
