摘要

通过对国际人道主义工作的民族志观察和对人道主义专业人士的采访，乔·克罗普的《人道主义解决方案：在当代战争中引导平民保护》引人入胜地描述了人道主义谈判和说服的日常实践。这本书展示了国际人道主义者是如何从更经典的中立中介转变为一个中间人和翻译者，拥有一套更官方和更少官方的国际法和政策重新审视工具箱，以解决当地问题并说服不同的行动者。在这篇评论文章中，我强调了克罗普的书中国际律师对国际人道主义法的普遍性和多元主义问题以及从业者面临的双重约束的隐藏见解：虽然这些翻译实践看起来像是在当前国际框架内对人道主义法多元主义的开放，任何必要的翻译都会重新强调这些重新审视如何不是法律，并最终作为加强中央系统权威性和所声称的普遍性的技术发挥作用。

Brokers and Translators: Exploring the Limits of Pluralism in International Humanitarian Negotiation

Through ethnographic observations from international humanitarian work and interviews with humanitarian professionals, Joe Cropp’s The Humanitarian Fix: Navigating Civilian Protection in Contemporary Wars engagingly describes the daily practice of humanitarian negotiation and persuasion. The book illustrates how the international humanitarian has morphed from the more classical neutral intermediary to emerge as a broker and translator with a toolbox of more official and less official reframings of international law and policy to grapple with local problems and persuade different actors. In this review essay, I highlight the hidden insight for international lawyers in Cropp’s book regarding questions of universality and pluralism in international humanitarian law and the double-bind practitioners face: while these practices of translation look like an openness to pluralism in humanitarian law, within the current international framework, any translation by necessity re-emphasises how these reframings are not the law, and ultimately work as techniques to reinforce the authority and claimed universality of the central system.

期刊介绍： The Journal of International Humanitarian Legal Studies is a peer reviewed journal aimed at promoting the rule of law in humanitarian emergency situations and, in particular, the protection and assistance afforded to persons in the event of armed conflicts and natural disasters in all phases and facets under international law. The Journal welcomes submissions in the areas of international humanitarian law, international human rights law, international refugee law and international law relating to disaster response. In addition, other areas of law can be identified including, but not limited to the norms regulating the prevention of humanitarian emergency situations, the law concerning internally displaced persons, arms control and disarmament law, legal issues relating to human security, and the implementation and enforcement of humanitarian norms. The Journal´s objective is to further the understanding of these legal areas in their own right as well as in their interplay. The Journal encourages writing beyond the theoretical level taking into account the practical implications from the perspective of those who are or may be affected by humanitarian emergency situations. The Journal aims at and seeks the perspective of academics, government and organisation officials, military lawyers, practitioners working in the humanitarian (legal) field, as well as students and other individuals interested therein.
