World Poverty and Human Rights [Full Text]
- 03/30/05
Despite a high and growing global average income, billions of human beings are still condemned to lifelong severe poverty, with all its attendant evils of low life expectancy, social exclusion, ill health, illiteracy, dependency, and effective enslavement. This problem is solvable, in spite of its magnitude.

Do We Owe the Global Poor Assistance or Rectification? [Excerpt]
- 03/30/05
Risse asserts that the global order "can plausibly be credited with the considerable improvements in human well-being that have been achieved over the last 200 years. Much of what Pogge says about our duties toward developing countries is therefore false."

Should We Stop Thinking About Poverty in Terms of Helping the Poor? [Excerpt]
- 03/30/05
According to what Patten calls the “need-based” view, "we have a very strong and extensive set of duties to come to the assistance of the global poor: duties that are grounded in the neediness of the poor."

Human Rights and Positive Duties [Excerpt]
- 03/28/05
What kind of duties (positive or purely negative?) would we be subject to in a just global society where everyone fulfilled their duty and there was no significant risk of injustice? And what kind of duties (positive or purely negative?) do we face in a global society that falls short of the just society?

Contributing and Benefiting: Two Grounds for Duties to the Victims of Injustice [Excerpt]
- 03/30/05

What Do We Owe the Global Poor? [Excerpt]
- 03/30/05
In this article, Satz critiques "both Pogge’s use of the causal contribution principle as well as his attempt to derive all of our obligations to the global poor from the need to refrain from harming others."

Severe Poverty as a Violation of Negative Duties [Excerpt]
- 03/30/05

The Democratic Minimum: Is Democracy a Means to Global Justice? [Abstract]
- 03/30/05
Bohman argues that "transnational democracy provides the basis for a solution to the problem of the “democratic circle”—that in order for democracy to promote justice, it must already be just—at the international level. Transnational democracy could be a means to global justice."
