“…9 Current efforts to decolonise human rights [are] and [should] be foregrounded on Ngũgĩ wa Thiongo's idea of decolonisation which does not require the dismissal or the rejection of all Eurocentric viewpoints but rather focuses on placing the marginalised [third world socio-economic interests] at the centre of the international human rights order. 10 This localisation and re-centring of the periphery is a practical approach to the call for decolonisation of human rights which is informed by present realities. 11 The argument is that the contemporary international human rights order widely believed to have emerged from the crucible of World War II devastation has been stretched beyond measure, exposing its structural deficits through its lethargic response to the ever widening economic chasm between developed and developing countries.…”

The current global human rights order, eminently propagated in international legal instruments and statements, is to a great extent state-centric in character, bestowing obligations on states, whilst largely ignoring the conduct of non-state actors in the form of transnational corporations (TNCs) and trade governance institutions whose record of human rights adherence is scarcely convincing. This inability to aptly govern the conduct of transnational entities, even when it is evident that their power now eclipses that of states, raises the concern that the extant human rights regime is a neoliberal construct advancing market fundamentalism and widening the economic disparities between developed and developing countries. This article unsettles the doctrinal foundations underlying state centrism in international human rights law, arguing that such a version of human rights is exposing developing countries to neoliberal oligarchs, and market deficiencies, which if not reformed, may entrench underdevelopment. It calls for a decolonised human rights regime which impose human rights obligations on the conduct of transnational entities in pursuit of human dignity, equality and freedom.

Animal rights is an idea whose time has come. This book looks at animal rights through the lens—and as a phenomenon—of new human rights. It revisits a question once famously asked by the philosopher Paola Cavalieri: are human rights human? In other words, can and should animals have some of the same fundamental rights that have traditionally been reserved for humans in the guise of ‘human rights’?
