Ethics in International Relations

The most important problem in the ethics of international politics 
is the conflict between individual and collective rights. On the 
one hand international law is based on the idea of individual 
rights. On the other hand the major goal of international law is to 
preserve peace by protecting the autonomy of individual sovereign 
states. Often the individual human rights are sacrificed to the 
collective rights for the state of non-intervention in internal 
affairs. Michael Dusche's paper critically discusses the problem of 
the priority of individual and collective rights and suggests a 
solution.

The lecture is organised by The European Institute for International 
Affairs and is sponsored by the Heinrich Boell-Stiftung Baden-
Wuerttemberg.


Michael Dusche, born 1965 in Lower Saxony, Germany, is 
member of the Graduiertenkolleg at the Zentrum fuer Ethik in den 
Wissenschaften of the University Tuebingen.
