“…Dalam penelitian yang berjudul Diplomacy and Its Others: The Case of Comfort Women, Eppinger & Knop (2014) menunjukkan bahwa terdapat pertentangan antara sikap pemerintah Republik Korea yang bersikap pragmatis dalam persoalan ini, di mana diplomasi pada dasarnya perlu mengesampingkan persoalan historis yang rumit, dengan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Korea yang mendasari putusannya pada pelanggaran hak asasi manusia yang dialami para korban. Akan tetapi, penelitian ini tidak meneliti kurun waktu pemerintahan Park Geun-hye dan bagaimana pragmatisme juga masih memengaruhi dinamika persoalan ini pada masanya.…”

Usaha diplomasi yang dilaksanakan pemerintahan Park Geunhye untuk menangani persoalan comfort women adalah merupakan penerapan dari putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Korea tahun 2011 mengenai comfort women. Artikel ini berupaya mendeskripsikan bagaimana diplomasi ini dijalankan melalui konsep diplomasi hak asasi manusia yang terdiri atas dua proses, yakni negosiasi dan advokasi. Pemerintah Republik Korea melalui usaha negosiasinya dengan Jepang mengadakan pertemuan tingkat direktur jenderal dan pembicaraan tingkat tinggi. Dalam hal ini, ditemukan bahwa keseluruhan empat elemen negosiasi klasik diplomasi hak asasi manusia menurut Archer berhasil dipenuhi. Dengan catatan bahwa elemen keempat tidak 2 menghasilkan suatu luaran yang terbuka, melainkan suatu kesepakatan yang spesifik. Dalam usaha advokasinya, pemerintah Republik Korea menggunakan taktik naming and shaming dan fokus tematik dalam mengangkat empat tema besar Jepang sebagai pelaku pelanggaran hak asasi manusia terhadap comfort women: pertama, kejahatan kemanusiaan; kedua, perbudakan seksual militer; ketiga, Pernyataan Kono; keempat, reputasi internasional Jepang. Kedua proses ini dilaksanakan sejak dilantiknya Park Geun-hye pada Februari 2013 hingga akhir Desember 2015 dan dilakukan secara bersamaan.

Rehoming diplomacy: Privilege and possibility in the international law of diplomatic relations

Inspired by Karen Knop’s distinctive approach to international legal scholarship, and by her writings on gender and diplomacy, this article explores the centrality of households and household hierarchies in the international law of diplomacy as well as their significance for understanding hierarchy and privilege in international law more broadly. This argument is developed by attention, especially, to the negotiation history and text of the 1961 Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations (VCDR). Diplomatic premises have been organized around hierarchy in ways that are apparent in the text and travaux préparatoires of the VCDR, the article shows, and the diplomatic premises so configured do work in international legal discourse beyond being expressly defined and protected by international law. Those premises afford a model of how statehood should be performed and how states should relate to one another, helping to normalize hierarchy within and between states, and to entrench gendered hierarchies (in combination with class and racial hierarchies) in diplomatic work. The article demonstrates how attention to the role of hierarchy ‘at home’ in diplomatic work, in the hybrid, public-private space of the diplomatic household, can elucidate international law’s deep investment in maintaining privilege. This it illustrates by examining a recent dispute between Equatorial Guinea and France before the International Court of Justice over the status of the Paris residence of one of Equatorial Guinea’s senior diplomatic representatives, viewed against the backdrop of France’s ongoing resistance to reparations claims against the French state for its practices of colonial pillage and enslavement. Yet its defence of privilege notwithstanding, diplomacy’s typical residential, state capital-based model is undergoing change and has in fact long been a focus of strategic re-articulation through protest. The article concludes by querying whether diplomatic households could be regarded, counter-intuitively, as legal spaces of possibility for the recomposition of relations on the international legal plane.

My own pink world: Feminist diplomacy after culture

What has happened to the ambitions of feminist diplomacy expressed a decade ago? Although feminist foreign policy is on the rise in the United States, and, globally, has scored important victories within multilateral institutions such as the United Nations, feminists seem to have scaled back earlier ambitions to save women everywhere from patriarchy. In the words of Barbie, they have retreated to their ‘own pink world.’ We argue that the seeds of current challenges go back more than a decade to feminist diplomacy’s own knowledge practices. The tactics that feminist diplomats at that time deployed to manage the feminist postmodern predicament – what we term the culture bog – can on one level be understood within the repertoire of technical moves that define diplomatic practice. Yet, in a deeper way, these tactics violated the ethos and commitments of both feminism and diplomacy. We diagnose in this work a failure to embrace the challenges and contradictions of bridging worlds of incompatible realities that gave both fields their vitality.
