Needs, Rights, and Collective Obligations
Royal Institute of Philosophy Supplement 57:187-208 (2005)
Abstract
In this paper, I argue that a well-known objection to subsistence rights developed by Onora O'Neill - namely, that such rights would generate obligations without an obligation-bearer, can be answered if we take such rights to impose an obligation on the world's population, taken collectively.Author's Profile
