Using Michel Foucault's concept of modes of objectification, this paper argues that treaties, declarations, and agreements constitute international juridical forms that transform human beings into legal subjects. It retraces the objectification of “natives” in nineteenth-century colonial treaties that made human beings accessories to territories and transformed them into colonial subjects. This legal construct, the paper contends, was rendered unstable in the UN era when treaties re-objectified the “natives” into “peoples”, thereby allowing colonial subjects to re-subjectify themselves into actors and re-describe themselves with an adjective, a nationality. The paper then brings the history to the twenty-first century and posits that ASEAN is now objectifying new trans-national subjects that are ontologically connected to the regional economy. This history of legal subjectivity reveals not only the power of international juridical forms as a mode of objectification, but also the trajectory of subject formation in Southeast Asia under the ASEAN Charter.

国际司法形式与法律主体性：从 1824 年英荷条约到东盟宪章的东南亚主体史

本文运用米歇尔·福柯的客体化模式概念，认为条约、宣言和协议构成了将人转化为法律主体的国际法律形式。它追溯了 19 世纪殖民条约中对“土著”的客观化，这些条约使人类成为领土的附属品，并将他们转变为殖民主体。该论文认为，这种法律结构在联合国时代变得不稳定，当时条约将“原住民”重新客观化为“人民”，从而允许殖民主体将自己重新主体化为行为者并用形容词重新描述自己，a国籍。然后，该论文将历史带到了 21 世纪，并假设东盟现在正在客观化在本体论上与区域经济相关的新的跨国主体。
