dc.description.abstractIn this paper, I argue that every nation-state must enjoy total freedom as envisioned by Martin Luther King - the combination of both positive and negative liberties. I argue that former colonies do not enjoy both positive and negative rights because of the history of colonialism. Therefore, former colonizer nations have the duty to facilitate the total freedom of former colonies. This process involves a shift in the world political order from a Limited Access Order to an Open Access Order, so that every nation is able to enjoy total freedom. This process, I argue, is specially possible through Reparative Justice.

dc.subjectThe paper argues that every nation-state as an independent actor within the global system must be a) capable as independent actors and b) capable of ensuring universal human values for their citizens. Because the legacy of colonialism has affected the way nations function, and has taken away the ability of nations to do a) and b), former colonizer nations, via reparative justice, must ensure that former colonies are able to do a) and b) in order to achieve total freedom.
