Abstract

The concept of Humanity is one of the most controversial concepts in the contemporary international law legal literature. Every legal school of thoughts and legal approaches present a different version of the concept and its statues in international law, according to their pre-approved premises. Natural law school along with positivists and normativist are imposing their own stablished readings on this concept, but on the other hand, critical theorist of international law (CIL) have exposed their theoretical deficiencies and flaws. The core of this discourse has been focused on the potentials of the concept of humanity on diverging the trends of evolution in international law, although in a positivistic view, there is not that much controversy. This study will evaluate the concept of humanity based on the diverse criteria of aforementioned schools of thoughts, in order to depict and analyze the diversity of different version of the concept of Humanity in legal theories.
