摘要

厄立特里亚国家被媒体和人权组织描绘成一个被社会遗弃的“监狱国家”,侵犯其公民的人权,与邻国发生毫无意义的冲突。我研究了主流全球媒体上的这些表述,以及厄立特里亚领导人对这些表述的回应。对厄立特里亚的描述将其人权记录与国际政策混为一谈,特别是对索马里伊斯兰主义者的支持,并将该国视为流氓。伊萨亚斯·阿费沃基总统对这些描述的回应是,国际社会一直忽视厄立特里亚,因此使用孤立主义和自力更生的话语来支持他的统治,并将对厄立特里亚人权记录的批评作为对厄立特里亚主权的更广泛攻击的一部分。厄立特里亚领导人声称拥有主权,有权保护自己的边界并在其境内进行治理,因此间接地反对要求改善人权记录的呼吁。

Prison State, Pariah, And Proxy War: Human Rights Narratives and the Sovereignty Backlash in Eritrea
The Eritrean state has been depicted by media and by human rights organizations as a pariah and “prison state” violating the human rights of its citizens and engaging in senseless conflicts with its neighbors. I examine these representations in mainstream, global media and the response to them in the rhetoric of Eritrea’s leaders. The characterization of Eritrea conflates its human rights record with international policies, particularly support for Islamists in Somalia, and casts the country as rogue. President Isaias Afwerki’s responses to these depictions draw on narratives of the international community persistently neglecting Eritrea, thus using discourses of isolationism and self-reliance to buttress his rule and situating critiques of Eritrea’s human rights record as part of a broader attack on Eritrea’s sovereignty. Eritrean leaders’ assertions of sovereignty, the right to protect one’s borders and govern within them, thus indirectly counter calls for an improved human rights record.
