In a world full of armed conflict and human misery, global justice
remains one of the most compelling missions of our time.
Understanding the promises and limitations of global justice
demands a careful appreciation of international law, the web of
binding norms and institutions that help govern the behaviour of
states and other global actors. This book provides a new
interdisciplinary approach to global justice, one that integrates
the work and insights of international law and contemporary ethics.
It asks whether the core norms of international law are just,
appraising them according to a standard of global justice derived
from the fundamental values of peace and the protection of human
rights. Through a combination of a careful explanation of the legal
norms and philosophical argument, Ratner concludes that many
international law norms meet such a standard of justice, even as
distinct areas of injustice remain within the law and the verdict
is still out on others. Among the subjects covered in the book are
the rules on the use of force, self-determination, sovereign
equality, the decision making procedures of key international
organizations, the territorial scope of human rights obligations
(including humanitarian intervention), and key areas of
international economic law. Ultimately, the book shows how an
understanding of international law's moral foundations will enrich
the global justice debate, while exposing the ethical consequences
of different rules.
