SOVEREIGNTY OF DIGNITY: From Border Protection to Rights Protection in the Era of the Information Economy
Abstract
This article substantiates a fundamental reform of international law through the prism of the historical evolution of capital and structural patterns of modern civilization. The author proves that the state is a fiduciary mechanism of society, usurpation of power represents a violation of fiduciary duty requiring exclusion of the regime from international law and intervention under UN mandate. The central thesis: capital, having exhausted all traditional degrees of freedom (geographic expansion, technological intensification, financialization), has only one path for further growth—transforming humanity into quality consumers through liberalization of autocracies. This is not the final goal but a necessary condition for space expansion—the next phase of civilizational development. For the first time in history, the moral imperative (human dignity), economic logic (market expansion), and existential necessity (interplanetary civilization) converge into a unified vector. The article analyzes the Maduro regime as a test case for implementing a new doctrine of intervention, examines Elon Musk’s role as a conscious agent of this process, and outlines mechanisms for legitimizing interventions through UN procedures.
