Abstract

Thomas Pogge adopts human rights as the criterion for evaluating the justice of the global order and holds that the basic human rights of the global poor are unrealized because there is widespread severe global poverty under the current global order. He argues that developed countries have shaped and maintained the current global order in which there is severe global poverty while they could have designed and implemented an alternative plausible global order in which the severe global poverty could have been avoided. Pogge thus argues that developed countries have unduly harmed the global poor, which is avoidable, and have thus violated their negative duties to them.
