Abstract

The position of Russian President Vladimir Putin in starting the war in Ukraine proceeds from political realism or the imperial ambition of global powers. The propensity for conflict governs the global political order. President Putin thinks that the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is an existential threat as far as Russia is concerned. In the absence of a universal standard of justice in the world, Russia thinks that it was justifiable to invade Ukraine. NATO Secretary Jens Stoltenberg has argued that the right thing to do is to prevent Russia from imposing its will on a sovereign country. But while the West is trying to find a way to help Ukraine on moral and political grounds, it can be argued that the US and some of its Allies are a complicit to the absence of justice in the world. The reason is that the conflict in Ukraine also reveals the hypocrisy of the US when it comes to its own wars, for instance, in Iraq and Afghanistan. I argue from the perspective of global justice. I believe that the moral position is for President Putin to acknowledge his mistake but at the same time, the moral endgame should not appear as if the West has won this proxy war but for the world to finally realize the primacy of the respect for human rights and the dignity of peoples over all forms of hegemonic power.

Abstract

Structural injustice appears normalized and legitimized in modern societal culture. The Mindanao problem is not a religious conflict between Christians and Muslims. War and peace in Mindanao is a question of historical and structural injustice. Portraying the Christian and Muslim divide as some form of religious war silences the suffering of its Indigenous Peoples. The exclusion of the Lumad is due to a type of violence against their identity. Philippine society labels indigenous peoples as illiterate and the Muslim Filipino as violent. In the Filipino socio-cultural hierarchy, the Christian is at the top whereas in the middle lies the Muslim Filipino. Powerless and without any voice, at the bottom dwells the Lumad. There was no peace in the past because of this moral divide. Peace is not just the absence of conflict. It is a process that involves the full recognition of human dignity and the respect for basic human rights. It can only be achieved if it is inclusive, which means that it is meant for all human beings and not just to satisfy the economic or political demands of a dominant group. This is why inclusion cannot be limited to the distribution of resources. While politics caters to the satisfaction of power players, peace is can only be rooted in the solidarity of a people as one nation.
