What would an ethical foreign policy look like

An ethical foreign policy should satisfy what is called ‘International Parentianism. ’ This means that the interest of all states should be protected and upon enforcing the foreign policy, no state should be worse off. Using the idea of international paretianism, one fundamental aspect of an ethical foreign policy is that it must coincide with a sustainable climate treaty as the risks associated with climate change are the most pivotal issues concerning humanity. The effects are experienced unequally today, but the future will exacerbate the severity of the consequences. This study aims to determine and identify the existence of the ethical foreign policy. The thriving of the ethical foreign policy, therefore, depends on the ethicality and the promotion of morals in all the dealings that the society attempts to answer and develop.

The ethical environment that promotes and thrives in morality highlights that the foreign policy determinants are geared at promoting and maximizing the induction of ethics in the human context (Walzer, 1973, 34). It is prudent to note that ethical foreign policy exists. The existence of an ethical foreign policy is bound by morality and the development of the human context that supports the proliferation of ethics and ethical standards in the community. Morality determines a nation should treat the outside world through its ideologies, promotion of basic rights and equality and equity in human dealings. The occurrences of natural disasters such as earthquakes, the recent typhoons, tsunamis among others create the various ways that the world needs to respond and offer them with humanitarian assistance that will ensure that such people are helped and given the necessary aids without any restrictions (Chang, 2016, 54).

The provision of foreign aid promotes the ethicality concoct in foreign policy. It is one of the major factors that show that there is exists the ethical perspective in foreign policy. Nowadays, many countries have established the foreign aid policies that seek to provide foreign aids to the whole world without in any way focusing on the differences in values, laws, and regulations and also without any consideration in the differences that binds the human populations. The laws developed today governing the foreign aid development is in line with the foreign aids that the mother countries have developed to help propagate help in the society today. The promotion of human rights in the world is a concern that many countries have put into consideration to help in fostering the most efficient and the most proficient foreign policy development in the world.

Most of the countries across the world have often spoken against the inhuman acts and mistreatment that the members of a particular country usually pass. The application and enforcement of human rights and the fight against any human rights violations across the world has been enforced. The United States, for instance, has often waged war, economic sanctions and other initiatives on countries that are thought to be the great violators of human rights. The United Nations foreign policy has also developed the human rights watch that attempts to ensure that there are total promotion and total respect for human rights across the world. The 1997 election in British General Election saw the coming to power by the New Labour Party. The same saw the return to power by the Labor Party and Tony Blair as the leader.

The leadership of Tony Blair saw the establishment of the foreign policy ethical perceives that were to cushion the country and see its development towards promoting the ethical perspective and an ethical environment. The Foreign Policy Secretary under Tony Blair’s government established the mission statement for the country's foreign policy (Chandler, 200, 298). The idea that was supported and developed by Robin Cook, in Tony Blair’s Government developed that the British Government must have an ethical foreign policy.
