15. For Rawls 'Well ordered peoples have a duty to assist burdened societies. It does not follow, however, that the only way, or best way, to carry out this duty of assistance is by following a principle of distributive justice to regulate economic and social inequalities among societies. Most such principles do not have a denned goal, aim or cut-off point, beyond which aid may cease.' Rawls, op. cit. note 7, p. 106.
