Justice among Peoples and Decency of Iranian People

Abstract

<span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In his book The Law of Peoples, John Rawls described an international society in<br />which there are enemies and friends seeking their goals by deferent means.<br />Rawls introduced us principles as the fundamental rights of every people. The<br />people who reserve these rights can sustain in the world. Although this theory<br />is supposed to be part of liberal foreign policy, the peoples Rawls talks about<br />are not necessarily liberal. Decent hierarchical peoples also feature as<br />parties to the Law of Peoples. Beside liberal people, he categorized burdened<br />states, outlaw states and benevolent absolutisms that don't recognize the law<br />of peoples. In this article I try to offer some attributes of Iranian people as<br />the decent people. The exclusion of those regimes and the inclusion of decent<br />hierarchical peoples are demanded by the notions of plurality and toleration<br />that require the presence of Iranian peoples in this circle. This point necessitates Iranian t<span style="letter-spacing: -0.2pt;">hinkers to take part in the theoretical attempts for complementing Rawls' theory as an Ideal one.</span></span>
