The commitment to an order where nations, governments, societies and families adopt action
which envisions a world where women’s rights are equally important to those of men has
gained momentum. Having been marginalised in the national and international policies, it has
now come to be understood that keeping Feminist Foreign Policy (FFP) at bay means a
deliberate attempt to inflict injustice to half of the world’s population.
We need to make efforts to restore global justice and this can only be achieved by integrating
FFP in both theory and practise, which will ensure the exemplification of ‘justice as fairness’.
This paper would illuminate the “Law of Peoples” authored by John Rawls to explore the
principles of justice and peaceful coexistence for well-ordered societies, and seek to apply it
to FFP. It would establish that FFP is an important attribute of a peaceful world order, sans
which we are inhabiting a defective and an unjust global system. It would argue that the
absence of gender analysis and absence of sensitivity in global politics are key challenges for
peace. In the prevailing geopolitical uncertainties and flux, masculine power structures and
hegemonic aspirations, this paper would demonstrate that incorporation of FFP by nations
would transform the global political landscape that addresses moral imperatives and
prioritises stability.
In essence, this paper would play a pivotal role in shaping the discourse of justice within the
fractured realities of contemporary International Relations. It would conclude that
implementation of FFP in the world order would render political philosophy practical, by: (a)
concretely establishing its potential of becoming a transformative force for the global gender
equity, equality and integration in global governance and conflict resolution, and (b) paving
the way for a peaceful international community.
