Dans cet ouvrage, des universitaires s’interrogent sur la désobéissance civile, sa définition et sa légitimité. À l’origine de l’ouvrage, un constat : chacun d’entre nous est inévitablement confronté aux obligations et interdictions posées par le droit. De fait, peu de domaines de la vie en société échappent à une forme ou l’autre de réglementation juridique. Des tensions peuvent dès lors apparaître entre ce cadre normatif et ce que nous estimons devoir adopter comme comportement, ce qui nous doit conduire à nous interroger sur les raisons et les limites de notre obéissance à la loi. Mieux, à nous demander dans quelle mesure il n’est pas moralement obligatoire d’y désobéir dans certaines situations. Si les figures de Socrate, Antigone, Gandhi ou Martin Luther King font partie intégrante de notre imaginaire collectif, la désobéissance civile a tardé à gagner ses lettres de noblesse. Venue des États-Unis, elle fut d’abord considérée avec la plus grande méfiance et regardée comme une préfiguration de l’anarchie. Or aujourd’hui, les plus grands philosophes s’accordent à penser que la désobéissance civile est non seulement acceptable mais, bien plus, nécessaire au bon fonctionnement des institutions démocratiques. L’actualité récente nous en fournit d’ailleurs des exemples avec, en France, les appels à désobéir au projet de loi "Debré" de 1997 ou, en Belgique, au plus fort de l’affaire Sémira Adamu, l’attitude de certains passagers qui, en violation du règlement de bord auquel ils avaient souscrit en achetant leur billet, refusaient de s’asseoir dans l’avion, l’empêchant ainsi de décoller pour protester contre les expulsions de sans-papiers. Cet ouvrage est le fruit de séminaires organisés par le Centre de philosophie du droit de l’Université libre de Bruxelles avec l’aide du Fonds de la recherche fondamentale collective

Do citizens have an obligation to obey the law? This book differs from standard approaches by shifting from the language of obedience (orders) to that of deference (normative judgments). The popular view that law claims authority but does not have it is here reversed on both counts: law does not claim authority but has it. Though the focus is on political obligation, the author approaches that issue indirectly by first developing a more general account of when deference is due to the view of others. Two standard practices that political theorists often consider in exploring the question of political obligation - fair-play and promise-keeping - can themselves be seen as examples of a duty of deference. In this respect the book defends a more general theory of ethics whose scope extends beyond the question of political obligation to questions of duty in the case of law, promises, fair play and friendship.

It has never been more important to understand how international law enables and constrains international politics. By drawing together the legal theory of Lon Fuller and the insights of constructivist international relations scholars, this book articulates a pragmatic view of how international obligation is created and maintained. First, legal norms can only arise in the context of social norms based on shared understandings. Second, internal features of law, or 'criteria of legality', are crucial to law's ability to promote adherence, to inspire 'fidelity'. Third, legal norms are built, maintained or destroyed through a continuing practice of legality. Through case studies of the climate change regime, the anti-torture norm, and the prohibition on the use of force, it is shown that these three elements produce a distinctive legal legitimacy and a sense of commitment among those to whom law is addressed.
