Global Justice | Philosophy of Rawls

[@Doctor.T.46]

Thanks for a brilliant video which brings back memories. I did an essay in my MA philosophy course on global justice. This video will certainly help anyone going through the same academic process that I experienced. Thank you.

Please make a video explaining Charles Beitz’ “Rawls’ Law of Peoples”. It’s very difficult to understand.

There are eight principles: Duty to assist is the eighth principle. 1. Peoples are free and independent, and their freedom and independence are to be respected by other peoples. 2. Peoples are to observe treaties and undertakings. 3. Peoples are equal and are parties to the agreements that bind them. 4. Peoples are to observe a duty of non-intervention. 5. Peoples have the right of self-defense but no right to instigate war for reasons other than self-defense. 6. Peoples are to honor human rights. 7. Peoples are to observe certain specified restrictions in the conduct of war. 8. Peoples have a duty to assist other peoples living under unfavorable conditions that prevent their having a just or decent political and social regime.
