For a time in the 1960s it seemed as if one domain in which the global south’s enthusiastic struggle to arrogate the mantle of universalism as an exercise in “worldmaking” was the transformation of international law. Though this struggle was ultimately circumvented by great power politics and newer forms of international law and organization, it was a crucial moment. The introductory prosopographical survey that follows seeks to recapture the consensus of a set of northern and southern international lawyers in the 1960s who saw potential in the project of transforming their field to register the aims of a new epoch – the aims of postcolonial states.

反殖民法制高潮

在1960年代的某个时期，全球南方为争夺普遍主义的热心斗争而进行的“世界创造”活动似乎在其中一个领域是国际法的转变。尽管这场斗争最终被大国政治以及新形式的国际法和组织所规避，但这是关键的时刻。随后进行的介绍性前期调查旨在重新捕捉1960年代北方和南方国际律师的共识，他们看到了在改变其领域以记录新时代的目标（后殖民国家的目标）的项目中的潜力。
