Description

Global Basic Rights brings together leading thinkers in political philosophy and international relations to explore some of the most challenging questions surrounding human rights. Charles R. Beitz and Robert E. Goodin, among others, examine the responsibilities of the global rich towards addressing severe poverty, the permissibility of using torture to gain information in the fight against terrorism, and the value of the idea of 'basic rights' in understanding complex issues like child labor and climate change. The contributors tackle these pressing questions through a critical analysis of existing theories and practical applications. This thought-provoking collection sheds light on the complexities of human rights and their relevance to contemporary debates. By engaging with the work of Henry Shue's 1980 book, Basic Rights, this volume offers a nuanced exploration of moral challenges in an increasingly interconnected world.
