GARCIA GIBSON, Francisco. Pobreza global o desigualdad doméstica: Una crítica a las propuestas de David Miller y Laura Valentini. Eidos [online]. 2014, n.21, pp.42-63. ISSN 1692-8857.

In this article I question David Miller and Laura Valentini's reasons to claim that duties to reduce inequalities inside the State should be prioritized over duties to reduce extreme global poverty. According to Miller, global duties, unlike domestic ones, cannot be legitimately enforced, and they are therefore mere humanitarian duties that weigh less than domestic duties, which are duties of justice. According to Valentini, domestic duties should be prioritized over global humanitarian duties because the former are duties not to harm, while the latter are mere duties to help. I argue that both views fail in their attempt to show that duties to reduce extreme global poverty are not duties ofjustice too.

Keywords : Global poverty; domestic inequality; priority; justice; humanitarianism.
