This thesis presents three historical accounts of what happened when people from the Caribbean, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, and Asia proposed to address climate change through universal forms of law that would equitably distribute responsibilities among richer states and poorer racialized peoples of the world. In each case, lawyers, government officials, and scholars across these regions of the Third World argued that international law could only prevent further climate change, and redress associated harms, if it were to treat the problem as a colonial legacy. Their proposals turned to redistribution, as a result, inspired by decolonization movements from the 1950s to the 1980s. As such, the thesis argues that Third World advocates sought to advance anticolonial forms of international law on climate change, characterized by universal redistribution - the redistribution of wealth, of decisional authority, and of ecological meaning-making on a global scale. They did so, the thesis argues, to counter liberal forms of international law that supported imperialism historically and that Third World advocates have associated with ongoing Northern hegemony. Yet the thesis also shows that anticolonial proposals for international law on climate change have been coopted, amended, or deferred for the very forms of liberal international law that Third World peoples sought to overcome. The thesis critiques ensuing liberal approaches for delaying concerted action on climate change with significant consequences, first and foremost, for racialized peoples of formerly and still colonized territories. To trace this oscillation between anticolonial and liberal forms of international law, the thesis focuses on discursive and practical evocations of the 'common concern of humankind' principle. The thesis shows how this principle - or its basic meaning of shared responsibility and cooperation - has been used for hegemonic and counter-hegemonic purposes across three histories addressing, inter alia, the origins of international law on climate change, financial transfers from the Global North to the Global South, and redress for loss and damage. The thesis concludes by suggesting the 'common concern of humankind' principle still has emancipatory potential that may contribute to pressing discussions about reparations and how to move the world away from exploitative ways of living.
