Abstract
The difficulties faced by Rawls’ and Haberman’s accounts of human rights were analyzed in order to suggest an alternative solution to the problem of justifying the universal cogency of human rights based on judgment view of justice. The study concluded that the agenda of a judgment model of universalism required that any conception of international or global justice should be political, and included the protection of human rights within the subject matter of justice without de-differentiating the spheres of morality and law.
