englischDefending an account of human rights as ethically substantive standards of legitimacy for institutions, Chwaszcza develops a methodological framework for normative theory of inter- and transnational justice. Her account combines critical normative discourse with an analysis of political and international practice. Four problems are addressed: inter-state responsibility for peace, transnational responsibilities concerning poverty relief, humanitarian intervention, and ethical problems related to voluntary migration.

Moral Responsibility and Global Justice: A Human Rights Approach declines to develop an abstract ideal of global justice, but instead provides a framework for normative argument dealing with obvious injustice and absence of justice in inter- and transnational political practice as it actually is. Two years after its first publication, the problems that the book addresses are as pressing as they have ever been.
