Global luck egalitarianism is a view about distributive justice at the international level associated with cosmopolitan moral theory. It starts from the basic intuition that it is a bad thing for some people to be worse off than others through no fault of their own, and applies this across borders. Global luck egalitarians characteristically believe that moral agents may have duties to mitigate the brute luck of distant others.
