Abstract:
|
The abuses of prisoners at the 'Abu Ghraib' prison in Iraq committed by US soldiers will have far reaching consequences for the implementation and enforcement of human rights. It is feared that the mishandlings of prisoners will encourage hostilities by terrorists and rouge nations and lead to an erosion of US credibility in the world. This paper seeks to analyze the potential impact these specific human rights abuses will have on the human rights movement in general at the international level. What will be the likely impact and consequences of this particular incident on the overall effort of the international human rights movement? This paper contends that these violations will have a negative impact on several levels. For one, the efforts of NGO's to promote human rights will be severely hampered. Second, states accused or suspected of violating human rights in their own countries will be inclined to resist and dismiss criticism leveled against them, and not bow to international pressure. And third, other crisis and humanitarian hotspots (e.g.,Sudan) will be overshadowed and pushed to the background, making those abuses less visible to the public. |

| Rough Draft 2005 ISA-Annual Convention Honolulu Hawaii Kristian Alexander Paper title: `Hegemon as violator: The Consequences of `Abu Ghraib' on International Human Rights' Introduction Judging by the title of my paper one could make the claim that I am implying that the Abu Ghraib prison abuse scandal will have inevitable and long lasting consequences. While that might be possible it is after all an ongoing process that is evolving that is not my intention. I don't want to exaggerate |
