Building the Rule of Law in International Affairs

自联合国成立以来，澳大利亚一直致力于建立一个以规则为基础的国际体系，尽管最近在实践中有所动摇，但在形式上仍然支持国际法。这不仅仅是价值观的问题。作为一个贸易大国和中等强国，澳大利亚的繁荣和安全将受益于一个更加基于规则的国际秩序。该项目旨在寻找在国际事务中加强和建设法治的切实途径。为此，这项涉及联合国、加拿大智库和联合国大学澳大利亚治理研究所的国际研究将使澳大利亚能够在多边思维和行动中发挥领导作用，以加强国际法治。

Australia has been committed to a rules-based international system since the foundation of the UN and, while recently wavering in practice has remained formally supportive of international law. This is not just a matter of values. As a major trading nation and a middle power, Australia prosperity and security would benefit from a more rules-based international order. This project aims to find practical ways of bolstering and building the rule of law in international affairs. In doing so, this international research involving the UN, a Canadian think tank and UN University's Australian based governance institute will allow Australia to take leadership role in multilateral thinking and action to bolster the international rule of law.
