The idea of public reason revisited.

The Law of Peoples extends the idea of a social contract to the Society of Peoples and lays out the principles that should be accepted as the standard for regulating a society's behavior toward another. In particular, it draws a distinction between basic human rights and the rights of each citizen of a liberal constitutional democracy.
