This study explores how the legacy of slavery and embedded racial ideologies have influenced the development of international relations and contemporary human rights frameworks. Using the Emancipation Proclamation as a historical anchor, the study draws connections between racial capitalism, postcolonial critique, and modern global governance structures. The dataset includes literature review highlights, thematic coding summaries, and ethical statements derived from qualitative analysis of treaties, scholarly works, and archival sources. The study contributes to ongoing conversations in international law, race theory, and global justice.
