叙利亚的持久战争是最近一个引发国际社会激烈辩论的案例,包括在联合国安理会理事会,关于如何应对冲突中的大规模侵犯人权行为。2013年8月,一个令人发指的事件--在古塔地区使用化学武器--(最初)似乎推动了一些自由民主国家对叙利亚的军事干预。虽然显示平民死亡的视频通过YouTube传播到世界各地,但这些图像的政治影响好坏参半。反思痛苦视频图像的传播和展示与其对美国政治的影响之间的关系,我们在本文中解决了两个相关的问题:首先,美国政府对叙利亚人民死亡的可怕视频有何反应,这些人可能受到化学武器的袭击?其次,这一事件在美国的政治话语中是如何被框定的?本文的目的是了解媒体形象对自由民主国家在应对大规模侵犯人权和国际法行为时使用武力的决策过程的矛盾和偶然影响。我们认为,有关视频的发布引发了美国政府的政策变化,尽管它并没有导致对大规模侵犯人权行为的军事反应。
The enduring war in Syria is the most recent case that has triggered fierce debates within the international community, including at the UN Security Council, about how to respond to massive human rights violations in conflicts. In August 2013, one outrageous incident – the use of chemical weapons in the Ghouta area – (initially) seemed to push some liberal democracies towards military intervention in Syria. Although the videos showing the death of civilians spread worldwide via YouTube, the political impact of these images was mixed. Reflecting on the relation between the circulation and display of video images of suffering and their impact on US politics, we address two related questions in this article: first, how did the US administration react to the terrifying videos of people dying in Syria, people who had presumably been attacked by chemical weapons? Second, how was this incident framed in political discourse in the United States? The aim of this article is to understand the ambivalent and contingent effects of media images on decision-making processes regarding the use of force by liberal democracies in response to massive violations of human rights and international law. We argue that the publication of the videos in question initiated a policy change on the part of the US administration, although it did not result in a military response to massive human rights violations.
