“…Morality is defined as an innate understanding and belief in what is “right and wrong”, which is autonomous at an individual and state level and not dependent on outside factors or individuals (Ray, 1996). This understanding of morality dictates how we define justice; as being the realisation that fairness has only been achieved by a particular action in response to our innate sense of morality (Choudhary, 2018). The drastic contrast between high-income countries and low- and middle-income countries demonstrates the consequences the current economic order has on a nation’s ability to provide quality education and recover after global emergencies occur.…”

PurposeThis paper will identify and further explore the ideals versus realities of learning poverty and the consequential effects on our moral obligations and responsibilities. The wealthy nations are now under further pressure to recognise and realise their moral obligations to enabling social justice in the context of access, and distribution, of vaccines for the poorer nations. Learning poverty has always been a feature of our global economic, and institutional order, and has become an increasingly important factor in achieving justice.Design/methodology/approachThe study focusses on a human rights approach to learning poverty and the ideals versus the realities of what we are beginning to see in the times of a global pandemic. The major challenges to justice is inherent to the recognition that wealthy nations continue to have a pivotal role in the reduction of poverty. The identified major challenges in the context of learning poverty are: “nation states and the global pandemic”, “international interactions and learning poverty” and “global institutions and learning inequalities”. In particular, the authors explore the concept of ideals versus realities through three “challenges”, which continues to challenge any semblance of justice in the current global vaccine distribution. Nation states and borders, international interactions and global institutions remain barriers in overcoming what is becoming a reality of learning poverty.FindingsThis paper seeks to look beyond the economics of vaccine trade and seek a way to accept a moral claim of justice for all. The authors consider how wealthy nations are active participants in the emergence of learning poverty for many nations.Originality/valueBy exploring the ideals versus realities of learning poverty, and human rights, the authors highlight some of the challenges, and wealthy nations moral obligations, through the emergence of a new dimensional indicator of poverty, learning poverty.

“…Morality is defined as a belief in right and wrong that is autonomous at both an individual level and a state level (Ray 1996). This shapes how we define justice, which should entail the perception that fairness has been achieved by a particular action (Choudhary 2018). If we ignore and neglect our moral obligations, a state of injustice prevails, which entails a challenge to combat global poverty and achieve human rights.…”

The purpose of this paper is to reflect back on, and respond again to, the 2005 Ethics and International Affairs symposium entitled “World Poverty and Human Rights.” The paper identifies and further explores the ideals of combatting poverty versus the realities of poverty as we move into the final ten years of the Sustainable Development Goals. The paper focusses on a moral and philosophical approach to poverty and the ideals versus the realities. It explores the three challenges posed by nation‐states and borders, international interactions, and global institutions, which continue to challenge any semblance of justice in the current economic distribution of wealth. This realisation leads to a profound recognition of a prolonged need for justice when we reflect back on the papers presented at the 2005 symposium.
