Identity, Recognition, Rights or What Can Hegel Teach Us About Human Rights? COSTAS DOUZINAS* Rights play a crucial role in shaping identity by organizing the recognition of self by others and by legal and social institutions. For Hegel, legal rights lead to an abstract type of recognition based on the universality of the law.

The lack of clarity in the law of self-determination, while irksome in many respects, can also be perceived as its greatest strength: for ambiguity permits scope for contestation, flexibility, and interpretation through which the law can accommodate unforeseen circumstances.28This does not imply that the law can be interpreted to mean anything one ...
Because peoples and IOs and groups of states exist in a relationship of domination of the former by the latter—that is, the kind of relationship that the law of self-determination is concerned with—it can be argued that the law of self-determination is called on to evolve to provide a remedy. However, before jumping to such a conclusion we must exa...
We have seen that existing law does not adequately remedy the issue of IOs’ and state collectives’ domination over peoples. Civil society participation, underpinned by an individual human rights-based approach, does not account for group interests; nor is it well-suited in practice for indigenous peoples’ organizational forms. Meanwhile, peoples’ p...

This chapter describes the dawning of a notion that identity, whatever its manifestation, is a personal attribute — whether it be global solidarity, xenophobic tribalism, enlightened liberal nationalism, or something else. An individual's identity is increasingly self-chosen, rather than imposed by accident of birth or some liege-lords' fiat.
