Abstract
Global poverty eradication is a fundamental international obligation and through this research paper, I intend to explore the multifaceted impact of poverty on the issue of global justice. I start by examining the ways in which poverty undermines access to justice, exacerbates inequality, and contributes to social instability and corruption. Thereafter, the paper tends to establish how the relationship between impoverished individuals and their governments affects only the means of poverty eradication, not the goal itself. The duties of human rights and assistance are essential for a well-ordered domestic society and thus the paper discusses various justice theories and their limitations in addressing global poverty, emphasizing the need for a more holistic approach. It highlights the importance of both institutional and individual actions in promoting global justice and alleviating poverty. Further the paper proposes principles grounded in John Rawls’s theory of human rights and assistance, which mandates the elimination of poverty regardless of its underlying causes. While philosophical solutions may be elusive, addressing these challenges can clarify the principle’s scope and identify potential targets and measures for practical implementation, such as eliminating severe forms of deprivation.The paper highlights some practical challenges in implementing the global poverty eradication principle and thus in conclusion advocates for a shift in perspective towards understanding poverty as a situational condition rather than a permanent characteristic, emphasizing the need for equitable policies and individual responsibility to create a more just and inclusive world.
