摘要

本文运用沙特阿拉伯的案例研究，考察了被充分记录为严重侵犯人权者的国家的言论，以及他们利用联合国人权理事会普遍定期审议机制来捍卫、淡化和否认其侵犯人权的行为。作为政府政策的一个问题，系统性、严重和故意侵犯人权的威权国家在进行普遍定期审议以及为普遍定期审议编写和提交各自的国家报告时，采用了不同的修辞策略。本文分析了这些战略，说明了不同国家在普遍定期审议过程中如何使用这些战略，并探讨了普遍定期审议进程的价值和局限性及其在促进人权方面的功效。

THE UN HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL’S UNIVERSAL PERIODIC REVIEW AS A RHETORICAL BATTLEFIELD OF NATIONS

Applying the case study of Saudi Arabia, this article examines the rhetoric of nations who are well documented as being severe violators of human rights and the use they make of the UN Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review (UPR) mechanism to defend, downplay, and deny their human rights violations. Authoritarian countries who violate human rights systemically, severely, and intentionally as a matter of government policy apply different rhetorical strategies when undergoing the UPR process and writing and submitting their respective national reports for the UPR process. This article analyzes these strategies, illustrates how different countries use them during the UPR process, and explores the value and limitations of the UPR process and its efficacy at advancing human rights.

期刊介绍： World Affairs is a quarterly international affairs journal published by Heldref Publications. World Affairs, which, in one form or another, has been published since 1837, was re-launched in January 2008 as an entirely new publication. World Affairs is a small journal that argues the big ideas behind U.S. foreign policy. The journal celebrates and encourages heterodoxy and open debate. Recognizing that miscalculation and hubris are not beyond our capacity, we wish more than anything else to debate and clarify what America faces on the world stage and how it ought to respond. We hope you will join us in an occasionally unruly, seldom dull, and always edifying conversation. If ideas truly do have consequences, readers of World Affairs will be well prepared.
