inhumane


Explanation:
"Inhumane" is a more common term than "anti-human" or "anti-humaine" which appear to be ad hoc neologisms.

Thus: "... above all in this period which calls to mind the challenges of globalisation and its inhumane consequences."

dehumanising OR dehumanizing


Explanation:
.. just thought I'd add another ingredient to the soup.
I would need to know more about the precise nature of the "consequences"--i.e do they make people less caring or less like human beings?
