Globalno siromaštvo i međunarodna distributivna pravednost
Global Poverty and International Distributive Justice

Summary/Abstract: Global poverty presents one of the most persistent problems of international relations. There are a number of well- -developed theories in the political science and political philosophy that deal with this problem. Proponents of cosmopolitan theories of international justice hold that our obligations to the global poor are the same as our obligations to the poor in our domestic societies. In the first part of the article we point out some of the weaknesses of one version of the cosmopolitan approach. In the remaining part of the article we defend Rawls’s approach to the international distributive justice according to which we have a duty to assist burdened societies in the establishment of just institutions that are capable of protecting the basic human rights of their own population. In addition to their duty of assistance, the author proposes two other measures in order to address the urgency of the problem of global poverty.
