Quotes by Onora O'Neill (?)

“What is the use of discussing a man’s abstract right to food or medicine? The question is upon the method of procuring and administering them. In that deliberation I shall always advise to call in the aid of the farmer and the physician rather than the professor of metaphysics.19”
― Onora O'Neill, Justice across Boundaries: Whose Obligations?

“even states with robust laws and a strong commitment to human rights can find it hard to secure all rights for all persons who are (wholly or partly, continuously or episodically) within their borders.”
― Onora O'Neill, Justice across Boundaries: Whose Obligations?

“Treating rights as fundamental gives prominence to the perspective of victims, and lends itself all too readily to an emphasis on the form of rectificatory justice of most concern to victims, namely compensation.”
