摘要：本文分析了人权在20世纪40年代至70年代人口控制运动中的作用。它以人口理事会、国际计划生育联合会和联合国的记录为基础。它表明，基于权利的语言是由人口控制的倡导者而不是其批评者引入的，并认为将人口过剩描述为实现人权的问题成为与国家和联合国领导建立联盟的成功政治战略。这两个因素都是1960年代以来提供财政支助和广泛执行人口控制方案的关键因素。
Abstract:The essay analyses the role of human rights for the population control movement from the 1940s to the 1970s. It is based on records from the Population Council, the International Planned Parenthood Federation and the United Nations. It shows that rights-based language was introduced by advocates of population control and not by its critics and argues that portraying overpopulation as a problem for the realization of human rights became a successful political strategy in building alliances with states and the UN’s leadership. Both were key factors for the financial support and widespread implementation of population control programmes from the 1960s onwards.
