Arguing for a dual role of human rights as legal rights and moral standards
of legitimacy, Chwaszcza extends their role as normative correctives of the
achieved status quo in law and political practice to international
relations. How can the normative standing of individuals and collective
responsibilities among states be combined? Interpreted as standards of
legitimacy for institutions, the concept of human rights offers a fruitful
normative heuristic for determining the moral status of individual persons
in international relations and for assessing collective responsibilities of
transnational justice among political associations. Four areas of moral
concern are discussed: peace ethics, humanitarian intervention, poverty
relief, and migration.
