Transnational Legal Responsibility: Some Preliminaries
Original language description
The paper views the question of transnational human rights obligations as forming part of the wider problem of the transnational scope of legal obligations and the responsibility they ground. It develops an alternative account for expanding the scope oflegal obligation beyond the limits of national sovereignty using the idea of proto-legal relations. Proto-legal relations involve interactions between individuals such that generate enforceable claims among the participants. Interestingly it turns out that, while state-based norms are sufficient for enforceability, they are not necessary for it; many other instances of interaction between agents are capable of generating enforceable obligations. Finally, I discuss in broad terms how the proposed reconstruction of legal obligation amounts to a novel demarcation of legal actors which can bear on the allocation and distribution of legal responsibility between plural and diverse actors.
