Systematicity, normativity, and The Nature of International Law

Résumé En Sl

This essay offers some critical remarks on Miodrag Jovanović’s ambitious attempt to deploy arguments developed within analytic legal philosophy to make sense of core features of the international legal order. First, I argue that Jovanović endorses a common but mistaken reading of H.L.A. Hart’s analysis of international law. Properly understood, Hart’s take on international law is one Jovanović shares. Second, I raise several objections to Jovanović’s depiction of (international) law’s normativity, including both his account of what makes law legitimate and his description of the role legitimate law plays in its subjects’ practical reasoning.

Sistematičnost, normativnost in The Nature of International Law. Avtor v tem zapisu poda nekaj kritičnih opazk o ambicioznem poskusu Miodraga Jovanovića, da bi z argumenti, razvitimi znotraj analitične pravne filozofije, osmislil jedrne značilnosti mednarodnega pravnega reda. Najprej trdi, da Jovanović sprejema pogosto, a napačno branje Hartove analize mednarodnega prava. Pri pravilnem branju se Jovanovićevo stališče ujema s Hartovim. Drugič, naperi različne ugovore zoper Jovanovićev prikaz normativnosti (mednarodnega) prava, vključno z njegovo razlago tega, kar pravo dela legitimno in njegov opis vloge legitimnega prava pri praktičnem razlogovanju njegovih subjektov.
