"JUSTICE BEYOND BORDERS: A PHILOSOPHICAL INQUIRY INTO THE MORAL FOUNDATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW"

Abstract

The world is becoming more connected, making the state-centric approach to justice less effective. This study looks at the ethics of international law using philosophy and asks if a single system of justice can properly shape laws across countries. By studying cosmopolitanism, communitarianism, and pluralism, the study carefully looks at the role of international law in dealing with matters such as humanitarian intervention, climate justice, and human rights. The research points out the conflicts that arise between a country’s sovereignty and its responsibilities to the world community. It proposes a mixed approach that values all people equally and respects the different cultures and political systems. It concludes that justice should be applied worldwide and that international law should develop to match both ethical standards and real-life situations. The study supports work in different fields and forms a base for future research and policy in global justice and legal theory.
