global justice
Cross-border ethical accountability
Global justice is the idea that fairness, rights, and moral obligations extend beyond national borders to all people worldwide.
The concept addresses inequalities between nations—wealth distribution, human rights, environmental burdens, and access to resources.
Debates over global justice ask what wealthy nations owe poorer ones, and whether international institutions adequately protect the vulnerable: Climate policy is fundamentally a question of global justice.
