Abstract
Our contemporary world generates numerous moral dilemmas, and it can hardly be described as just or fair. Global poverty,underdevelopment, mass violations of human rights are just some of the issues which require global solutions and multilateral coordination of a large number of countries. The-re is no consensus in academia whether these problems are issues of social justice or just humanitarian issues. Two basic perspectives in the discussion about justice in international sphere are anti-cosmopolitanism, or political justice approach (Rawls, Nagel, Blake), and cosmopolitanism, or global justice approach (Beitz, Pogge, Barry). The basic logic of cosmopolitan perspective was to develop justification for the application of the principles of distributive justice on a global scale.
