Title | The International Legal Order's Colour Line: Racism and racial discrimination in the making of international law |
Authors | Schabas, W. |
Abstract | Prior to the twentieth century, international law was predominantly written by and for the 'civilised nations' of the white Global North. It justified doctrines of racial inequality and effectively drew a colour line that excluded citizens of the Global South and persons of African descent from participating in international law-making while subjecting them to colonialism and the slave trade. |
