Die Erfordernisse der intergenerationellen und der internationalen Gerechtigkeit scheinen zu konfligieren. Der Aufsatz diskutiert dieses Problem und entwickelt eine Lösung dafür. Nach einer Kritik an verschiedenen Begründungen in der Literatur wird eine vollständig (d.h. sowohl in zeitlicher als auch in räumlicher Hinsicht) universalistische prioritaristische Wohlfahrtsethik entwickelt und auf der Grundlage unseres Mitgefühls begründet. Zunächst wird dazu ein Kriterium für moralische Bewertungen vorgeschlagen, gefolgt von einer Konzeption moralischer Pflichten, die sich auf sozial verbindliche Normen stützt und ein Streben nach moralischer Effizienz (im Sinne eines größtmöglichen moralischen Ertrags für einen gegebenen Aufwand) verlangt. Schließlich werden diese Ideen dazu verwendet, um die Prioritäten zwischen verschiedenen großen sozialen Aufgaben zu bestimmen. Es zeigt sich, dass Konflikte zwischen der zeitlichen und der räumlichen Dimension der Gerechtigkeit in der Praxis weniger verbreitet sind, als zunächst angenommen.
The exigencies of intergenerational and of international justice seem to conflict. This paper discusses this problem and develops a solution to it. After criticising several alternative justifications from the literature, a fully universalistic (i.e. universalistic in the temporal as well as spatial dimension) prioritarian welfare-ethic is developed and justified on the basis of our sympathy: first a criterion of moral value is proposed, followed by a conception of moral duties, which relies on socially binding norms and requires to strive for moral efficiency (most moral value for a given effort). Finally, these ideas are applied to determining priorities between several big social agendas. It turns out that, in practice, dimensional conflicts are less prevalent than initially thought.

The term 'genocide' was coined in 1944, but it has been practiced for centuries. The intent of one people to deliberately wipe out another can be traced back to the ancient world, and it continues today despite efforts from the United Nations and international treaties such as the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Beginning with an introduction that defines the term 'genocide', ""Genocide and International Justice"" discusses the field of comparative genocide studies and outlines the stages of the Holocaust, which has become the template for evaluating and d

"There is much debate about the scope of international law, its compatibility with individual state practice, its enforceability and the recent and limited degree to which it is institutionalized. This collection of essays seeks to address the issue of access to justice, the related element of domestic rule of law which does not yet figure significantly in debates about international rule of law. Even in cases in which laws are passed, institutions are present and key players are ethically committed to the rule of law, those whom the laws are intended to protect may be unable to secure protection. This is an issue in most domestic jurisdictions but also one which poses severe problems for international justice worldwide. The book will be of interest to academics and practitioners of international law, environmental law, transitional justice, international development, human rights, ethics, international relations and political theory"--
When the International Criminal Court announced on March 4, 2009, that it was pressing charges of war crimes against Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, a set of unintended consequences were thrown into motion. Al-Bashir responded by expelling thirteen of the international humanitarian aid organizations working in Sudan, as well as shutting down Khartoum's human rights organizations & human service agencies. In a country already racked by violence, poverty, & insecurity, the results were disastrous. This article looks at the legitimacy & effectiveness of the ICC in the face of such defiance & unintentional consequences. Adapted from the source document.
