“…As I have explored this model in detail elsewhere inspired by the work of Karen Knop (Seck 2019a, pp. 167-177;Seck 2017a;Knop 1993), and applied it to arguments put forward by the petitioners in the Philippines Climate Change Petition (Seck 2017a; Greenpeace Philippines 2015), here I summarise my insights and conclusions. The key as before is to eschew the ideology of the bounded autonomous liberal individual and to seek relational constructs in order to imagine and re-imagine relational laws.…”

A coherent theory of climate justice must answer the question of “who owes what to whom, and why?” This paper considers the human rights responsibilities of business enterprises for climate injustice. I first introduce a relational approach to legal analysis, drawing upon the work of diverse theorists who confront the dominant yet unacknowledged prevalence of the bounded autonomous individual of liberal thought in diverse areas of law and policy, and offer a method for reinterpretation and transformation of law in the Anthropocene. I then examine the 2018 Principles on Climate Obligations of Enterprises, drafted by a sub-group of the legal experts responsible for the 2015 Oslo Principles. Ultimately, I argue that a coherent theory of justice in the Anthropocene is dependent upon relational insights which enable us to tell old stories in new ways, and so reveal the interconnectedness and interdependence of all beings, while accounting for power and difference.

“…The role of government is the actualization of state sovereignty in achieving its goals which are controlled by basic norms and values in its interactions [25][26][27] . So that the role of government is the relationship between the government and those who are governed in order to achieve the desired goals, this is in line with [28][29][30] the role of government as a process of fulfilling public service needs.…”

<p>This study focuses on developing tourist villages as sustainable tourist destinations. The aim of this research is to determine the role of the government in tourism development which is carried out in a comprehensive and integrated manner by wisely utilizing natural resources, culture and geographical conditions. sustainable development, especially in rural areas, is expected to contribute to increasing welfare, equality and environmental awareness for the community. The research method was carried out using a qualitative approach, using observation, documentation and interview techniques to collect various complete data and information by determining research data sources, collecting and analyzing qualitative data, making conclusions and recommendations. The research results show that the government's role is quite large, although it has not succeeded in achieving targets in implementing various tourism developments in rural areas related to three role indicators, namely: 1) regulator, 2) dynamist, and 3) facilitator.</p>

“…Nevertheless, the inclusion of indigenous feminisms and other post-colonial scholars requires that we problematize the centricity of the state, something that feminist international law scholars have also called for, albeit for different reasons. 152 While an intersectional approach can be 'helpful for assessing the complex situation of indigenous women and the discrimination they face' 153 , it must also challenge settler colonialism and promote inquiry into how a particular 'field of study and the academy at large "may participate in the dispossession of Indigenous peoples' lands, livelihoods, and futures"'. 154 This requires questioning the assumption of the legitimacy of the nation-state, including as the protector of women.…”

In this article, we explore what intersectionality, as an analytic tool, can contribute to business and human rights (BHR) scholarship. To date, few BHR scholars have explicitly engaged in intersectional analysis. While gender analysis of BHR issues remains crucial to expose inequality in business activity, we argue that engagement with intersectionality can enrich and support this and other BHR scholarship. Intersectional approaches allow us to move beyond single-axis analysis, contest simplistic representations about gender issues and expose the complexity of human relations. It draws our attention to structures that sustain disadvantage such as racism, colonialism, social and economic marginalization and systematic discrimination. Moreover, intersectionality emphasizes the need to centre the contributions of those who have been marginalized. It can be used to challenge the legitimacy of the state and support subaltern, decolonized or postcolonial, including indigenous, perspectives. Adopting an intersectional approach can help problematize the neoliberal capitalist system and its constructs, in which the BHR normative framework is embedded, calling into question the reification of economic growth and its impact on individuals, communities and the planet. We must, however, remain cautious of attempts to co-opt intersectionality in the service of neoliberalism and remain conscious of our own privilege and discursive practices.
