联合国的情感外交与人权

Emotional Diplomacy and Human Rights at the United Nations

本文研究了第二次世界大战后,情感在联合国人权活动中发挥的作用。尽管,在联合国和人权外交方面,存在大量令人印象深刻的学术成果,但人们尚未详细探索过情感在这些辩论中发挥的作用。通过研究档案文件、私人手稿、当代文字记录和视频资料,本文认为联合国大会的集体情感对会议的结果具有重大影响。除此之外,在20世纪40年代至80年代期间,社会主流情感的内涵在不同历史阶段发生了巨大的变化。从本质上看,它与人们对'人权'的理解相互影响、相互作用。

This paper studies the role of emotion in the human rights activities of the United Nations after World War II.Although there are many impressive academic achievements in the United Nations and human rights diplomacy,the role of emotion in these debates has not been explored in detail.By studying archives,private manuscripts,contemporary written records and video materials,this paper argues that the collective feelings of the United Nations General Assembly have a significant impact on the outcome of the conference.In addition,during the 1940 s and 1980 s,the connotation of social mainstream emotions changed greatly in different historical stages.Essentially,it interacts with people’s understanding of human rights.
