In The Law of Peoples, Rawls provides the long-awaited extension of his theory of justice beyond the individual state. Rawls modifies his hypothetical contract device so that the parties for choosing the law of peoples are repsentatives of peoples-not individuals-and concludes that they would choose these principles: 1. Peples are free anvd independent, and their freedom and independence are to be respected by other peoples. 2. Peoples are too observe treaties and undertakings. 3. Peoples are equal and are parties to the agrreements that bind them. 4. People are to observe a duty of non-intervention. 5. Peoples have the right of self-defense but no right to instigate war for reasons other than self-defense. 6. Peoples are to honor human rights. 7. Peoples are to observe certain specified restrictions in the conduct of war. 8. Peoples have a duty to assist other peoples living under unfavorable conditions that prevent their having a jjust or decent political and social regime. Some critics have complained that Rawl's Law of Peoples is a betrayal of Liberalism because it accords legitimacy to very inegalitarian regimes, including those that deprive women of important rights, such as the right to education and tto equal opportunity in employment, that are not included in Rawls's basic human rights. For the most part, those who voice this objection blame the inegalitarian of Law of Peoples on Rawls's key assumption that the parties who choose the Law represent peoples, not individuals.
