Long abstractAd-vocates of “global justice” or “cosmopolitanism” propound that ethical duties are universal, and apply regardless of nationality, citizenship, race etc. In pure cosmo-politanism, individuals owe ethical duties towards other individuals who are worse off, wherever on earth they may be. Individual agency is not particularly practical, however. Therefore, global justice advocates have proposed to mediate individuals’ ethical duties via institutions, in particular international (gov-ernmental) organizations.1 In this institutional view, international organizations ought to be oriented towards furthering cosmopolitan ideals and tackling collective action problems, such as protecting human rights and the environment, guaranteeing collective security, and ensuring distributive justice, in particular alleviating world poverty.2 Some such in-stitutions, such as the United Nations, have been duly created. But because of design faults, political unwillingness, or resource limits, they have not been able to deliver on the promises they initially held: human rights are still trampled on, corruption remains rampant, and global warming contin-ues unabated.
