Duties of Justice (Armstrong)
Uses enforceable and morally enforceable interchangeably
If we ask about enforceable things then we have to ask enforceable by
whom?
A duty of justice that humans have to give to foreign countries, who is
going to compel, who would do anything about it and who could
Compulsion is justified
The ICC sometimes acts against Politicians
in real life its not very effective, in order to be brought to court the
country who the person belongs to must recognize the court, the US
refuses
Although Armstrong discusses Pogg he doesn’t include his most interesting
argument
Like the Federation in Star Wars prequels
Some businesses are inter-provincial, there are also some places where
the government cannot intervene
Legal Philosophy
In criminal law there are enforceable rules
However there are issues that arise in some cases
When accused of a crime you can plead innocent if you don’t do it, or if
you do do something you can use a defense of necessity
The defense of necessity only in emergency situations, choosing
between the lesser of two evils
The relevant part is the justification
You are justified if it would be wrong for a stranger to stop you
List of Human Rights in the “Law of Peoples”
Subsistence (health)*
Security *
Physical Of the person
The risk that you might be seriously hurt
The thought is that you need to live in an area where you aren’t afraid
to go outside
Personal Property
Formal equality before the Law
Also the right to a fair trial before the law
Everything must be fair down to the judges
Roman slavery
The way slaves had to give evidence was under torture
If a slave kills a master all slaves must be killed
Freedom from slavery (torture)
The first real sense of freedom was seen during the French revolution
