Justice for Africa

Abstract

In this chapter, I discuss the question of justice for Africa from my disciplinary point of view as a political sociologist who specializes in international human rights. My core question is, ‘How can we achieve an international society that is economically just, in the sense that no one is starving, or lacks decent housing, education or health care?’ My fundamental principle is that everyone in the world should be able to enjoy her or his economic rights. This is not synonymous with the proposal that everyone in the world should have equal access to material well-being.
