244The feasibility of basic socioeconomic human rights: A conceptual explorationPhilosophical Quarterly 59 (237): 659-681. 2009.To be justifiable, the demands of a conception of human rights and global justice must be such that (a) they focus on the protection of important human interests, and (b) their fulfilment is feasible.
