Non-State Actors and the Ethics of International Relations

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to explore the role of non-state actors in shaping the ethical principles for the regulation of international relations. In contrast to other theories that take states to be the main subjects of international relations, the paper discusses the importance of the perspective of non-state actors – non-governmental organizations, international organizations and corporations – in creating an international normative framework. By using the model of contemporary contractualist theories in which states and non-state actors are deciding on ethical principles, the fuller understanding of the role and significance of human rights in international relations arises.
