Globalno siromaštvo jedan je od najtrajnijih problema umeđunarodnim odnosima. Postoji niz dobro razrađenih teorijau politologiji i političkoj filozofiji koje razmatraju ovaj problem.Zagovornici kozmopolitskih teorija međunarodne distributivnepravednosti smatraju da su naše dužnosti prema globalnosiromašnima iste kao prema siromašnima u našim domaćimdruštvima. U prvom dijelu članka upozoravamo na nekeslabosti jedne varijante ovoga pristupa. U drugom dijelu člankabranimo Rawlsov pristup međunarodnoj distributivnojpravednosti, prema kojemu imamo dužnost pomoćiopterećenim društvima da uspostave pravedne institucije kojemogu štititi temeljna ljudska prava vlastita stanovništva. Ovadužnost pomoći dopunjena je dvjema dodatnim mjerama kakobi se odgovorilo na hitnost problema globalnoga siromaštva.Global poverty presents one of the most persistent problemsof international relations. There are a number of well--developed theories in the political science and politicalphilosophy that deal with this problem. Proponents ofcosmopolitan theories of international justice hold that ourobligations to the global poor are the same as ourobligations to the poor in our domestic societies. In the firstpart of the article we point out some of the weaknesses ofone version of the cosmopolitan approach. In the remainingpart of the article we defend Rawls’s approach to theinternational distributive justice according to which we have aduty to assist burdened societies in the establishment of justinstitutions that are capable of protecting the basic humanrights of their own population. In addition to their duty ofassistance, the author proposes two other measures in orderto address the urgency of the problem of global poverty
