Abstract
This chapter examines how our common humanity as a ground of justice leads to an account of human rights, which in turn generates a duty of assistance in building institutions. It first considers the notion of a “conception of human rights” before offering such a conception built around the idea of common humanity and connecting that conception to the institutional stance. It argues that claims of common humanity generate a duty of assistance in building institutions. Finally, it explores Simon Caney's version of nonrelationism to suggest that certain more expansive views of the role of common humanity in a theory of global justice are implausible. The chapter contends that nonrelationists exaggerate the role of the idea of a distinctively human life for global justice.
