摘要

摘要:在当前全球和国家经济发展阶段,收入不平等问题已成为人们普遍关注的问题。这篇文章关注的是美国所谓的“有毒的不平等”,这归因于几个因素,包括与资本主义相关的潜在个人主义,以及新自由主义全球化施加压力以最大限度地减少对弱势群体的社会保护的趋势。国际法未能有效保护社会免受不平等的破坏性影响,包括国家对针对既定秩序的社会愤怒的反应所带来的不平等的去民主化影响。这篇文章主张修改人权方法,以克服有害的不平等,包括造成这种不平等的条件。这种做法的一个方面是更加积极地努力执行《经济、社会、文化权利公约》的规范,采取政治步骤说服美国成为条约制度的缔约国。

Global Inequality and Human Rights: An Odd Couple
Abstract:In the current phase of global and national economic development, income inequality has become a widespread concern. This article focuses on what it calls “toxic inequality” in the United States that is attributed to several elements including the underlying individualism associated with capitalism and the tendency of neoliberal globalization to exert pressures that minimize social protection of vulnerable parts of the population. International law has not been effective in protecting societies against the disruptive effects of inequality, including its de-democratizing effects brought about by the reaction of the state to social rage directed at the established order. The article argues for a revised human rights approach to overcome toxic inequality, including the conditions that bring it about. One aspect of such an approach would be more energetic efforts to implement the norms of the Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights, taking political steps to persuade the Unitec States to become a party to the treaty regime.
