Abstract

In this article, we argue that animal rights and welfare are largely neglected at the United Nations (UN) and in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The UN Sustainability Agenda is not transformative because it lacks a serious (re-)consideration of the relationship between human beings, non-human animals and other components of nature. We propose four ways to strengthen animal rights and animal welfare at the UN: (1) we suggest creating a UN organisation working on animal protection, (2) we support earlier ideas to include an additional SDG on animal welfare in the UN Sustainability Agenda, (3) we propose to strengthen animals rights within the rights of nature framework using the UN as a forum to advance non-anthropocentric norms, (4) we recommend introducing procedural rights for animals in projects linked to SDG funding. Our research is based on an integrative literature review and a document analysis of UN documents, declarations and resolutions.

改变我们的世界?在联合国加强动物权利和动物福利

在本文中，我们认为动物权利和福利在联合国(UN)和可持续发展目标(SDGs)中基本上被忽视了。联合国可持续发展议程不具有变革性，因为它缺乏对人类、非人类动物和其他自然组成部分之间关系的认真(重新)考虑。我们建议四个方面加强动物权利和动物福利在联合国:(1)我们建议创建一个联合国组织在动物保护工作,(2)早些时候我们支持的想法包括额外的西班牙在动物福利在联合国可持续发展议程,(3)我们建议加强动物权利性质的权利框架内利用联合国作为论坛摘要非人类中心主义规范的推进,(4)我们建议引入诉讼权利与西班牙动物项目融资。我们的研究基于综合文献综述和对联合国文件、宣言和决议的文件分析。

期刊介绍： International Relations is explicitly pluralist in outlook. Editorial policy favours variety in both subject-matter and method, at a time when so many academic journals are increasingly specialised in scope, and sectarian in approach. We welcome articles or proposals from all perspectives and on all subjects pertaining to international relations: law, economics, ethics, strategy, philosophy, culture, environment, and so on, in addition to more mainstream conceptual work and policy analysis. We believe that such pluralism is in great demand by the academic and policy communities and the interested public.
