ON THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DOMINATED STATES

While global justice theorists heatedly discuss the responsibilities of the affluent and powerful, those states which can legitimately be seen as victims of global injustice have seldom, if ever, been considered as duty bearers to whom responsibilities can be attached. However, recognising agents whose options are constrained not only as victims, but also as duty bearers is necessary as a proof of respect for their agency and indispensable to mobilise the type of action required to alter global injustices. In this article, I explore what responsibilities state officials of dominated states have. I argue that they have the responsibility to resist domination in the name of the dominated states members. While under particular circumstances this responsibility gives rise to a duty to engage in acts of state civil disobedience, under other circumstances state officials of dominated states ought to resist domination in an internal, attitudinal way by recognising themselves as outcome responsible agents

Human rights, sovereign debt and why states should not keep their promises

Are there situations in which the state should not pay a legitimately acquired sovereign debt? This article argues that when the payment of non-odious debt violates the human rights of citizens, this constitutes an important normative reason for prioritizing human rights over the payment of sovereign debt. Given that there are specific, not casual, reasons to fear that high indebtedness of states may result in the undermining of socioeconomic and collective human rights of citizens, this article defends the following: when debt payment undermines human rights , the states have an important normative reason to prioritize the fulfillment of the latter over the fulfillment of their contractual obligations to pay debt to their creditors.</p
