Resumo: | The main questions of this paper are: What duties towards the very poor do the global rich have given that the global institutional order is unjust? Are there duties to institutionalize rights under such non-ideal institutional circumstances? How strong are these duties? My thesis is that what makes duties strong or weak is not that they are positive or negative in the sense derived from the theory of action. Instead of this, the strength of individual duties depends on their reference to basic goods and their specification, which partly depends on existing institutional arrangements as far as feasibility, determinateness, costliness, and efficiency are concerned. |

Há deveres para institucionalizar os direitos humanos sob tais circunstâncias institucionais não ideais? Quão fortes são estes deveres? Minha tese é que aquilo que torna deveres fortes ou fracos não é que eles sejam deveres positivos ou negativos, no sentido derivado da teoria da ação. Ao invés disto, a força de deveres individuais depende da sua referência a bens básicos e a sua especificação, o que depende em parte dos arranjos institucionais existentes, na medida em que envolvam viabilidade, determinidade, custo e eficiência.Editora da Pucrs - ediPUCRS2012-05-18info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistaseletronicas.pucrs.br/index.php/civitas/article/view/1114710.15448/1984-7289.2012.1.11147Civitas: journal of Social Sciences; Vol. 12 No. 1 (2012): Convergences and divergences in the contemporary social theory; 47-69Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; Vol. 12 Núm. 1 (2012): Convergências e divergências na teoria social contemporânea; 47-69Civitas: revista de Ciências Sociais; v. 12 n. 1 (2012): Convergências e divergências na teoria social contemporânea; 47-691984-72891519-608910.15448/1984-7289.2012.1reponame:Civitas - Revista de Ciências Sociais (Porto Alegre.

description |
The main questions of this paper are: What duties towards the very poor do the global rich have given that the global institutional order is unjust? Are there duties to institutionalize rights under such non-ideal institutional circumstances? How strong are these duties? My thesis is that what makes duties strong or weak is not that they are positive or negative in the sense derived from the theory of action. Instead of this, the strength of individual duties depends on their reference to basic goods and their specification, which partly depends on existing institutional arrangements as far as feasibility, determinateness, costliness, and efficiency are concerned. |
