The Law of Peoples is American Philosopher John Rawls's work on international relations. First published in 1993 as a short article (1993: Critical Inquiry, no.20), in 1999 it was expanded and joined with another essay "The Idea of Public Reason Revisited" (1997: University of Chicago Law Review, vol.64, no.3) to form a full length book. It is an attempt to show “how the content of a Law of Peoples might be developed out of a liberal idea of justice similar to, but more general than, the idea I call justice as fairness” (L.P. p.3).
