The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Notes: The journal in which this essay appears has a strong reputation in the sphere of political philosophy. The essay makes a distinct contribution by offering, among other things, an analysis of human rights law that aplies John Rawls's concept of reflective equilibrium. The analysis offered is not, however, a simple application of Rawls. It also draws on Thomas Nagel's account of agent-relative and agent-neutral reasons for action in order to refine the Rawlsian analysis.
