- Drawing on Rosi Braidotti’s posthuman feminist theory post-humanitarian law takes seriously the ontological shift needed in order to move away from traditional International Humanitarian Law (IHL), towards a law able to better describe and work for our own time and condition. To this end post-humanitarian law offers a framework of norms applicable during situations of war, conflict as well as other instances of violent eruptions. Moreover, it moves from inter-national to transnational legal ordering. A central tenant of the ontological shift entailed in the move from IHL to a post-humanitarian law is the possibility to move beyond the human as law’s ultimate genesis, telos, primary object of protection as well as custodian of all things worthy of recognition. Post-humanitarian law thus builds on a critique of both humanism and anthropocentrism as it transgresses their binary distinctions and hierarchies.
