Rawls’s and Pogge’s Concept of the Law of Peoples – A Comparative analysis

Summary/Abstract: This paper exposes the comparative analysis of two views of international justice and international relations, presented by John Rawls and Thomas Pogge. The main subject of the analysis is Pogge’s and Rawls’s conceptions of the “Law of Peoples” as the conceptions of justice for international society. The first part of the text examines the major ideas of Rawls’s theory of international justice exposed in his book The Law of Peoples. The second part of the text deals with Pogge’s critique of Rawls and expounds the main ideas of his version of international justice based on the idea of institutional cosmopolitism founded on human rights. Through examination of their views, the author distinguishes two problems which, in her opinion, present the main clashing point between the two philosophers. The first problem concerns with the way in which liberal democratic societies can and should tolerate other societies whose political system differs from their and is justified on the basis of different philosophical and political principles. The second problem deals with international distributive justice and examines whether the liberal peoples have a duty to help poor societies which are not able to establish wellordered, just institutions and the well-being of all their members. In terms of Rawls’s and Pogge’s solutions for these two problems, the author considers the key points of their views on international justice; their decision to take individuals or peoples as subjects of international law, their interpretation of human rights, as well as their relation to the non-liberal peoples.
