Summary
Thomas W. Pogge begins with the need to distinguish between the concept of justice and various conceptions of justice. In this perspective, he distinguishes international justice, which has been around and covers the interactions and the rules states do or should commit themselves to, and global justice, where it is individual human beings who have primary rights and are the subjects of global justice. On this basis, Pogge explores the conditions under which the pursuit of global justice could be better achieved.
