Questions concerning how Rawls's theory of justice accords with international criminal justice are largely ignored in favour of extensive debates on questions of distributive justice and how they relate to his theory and its international application. This lack of attention to international criminal law is significant since Rawls claims that his theory of justice is developed to correspond with recent dramatic shifts in international law. This paper argues that it is impossible for Rawls's account, state-centric as it is, to accord with advancements in international law that have increasingly asserted recognition of individuals in the global context.Résumé.Les questions concernant comment la théorie de justice de Rawls est en accord avec la justice criminelle internationale sont en grande partie ignorée, même pendant qu'en même temps sa théorie et son application internationale sont profondement discutée par rapport à la justice distributive. Ce manque d'attention à la loi criminelle internationale est important, puisque Rawls prétende que sa théorie de justice est développée en correspondance avec les récents changements dramatiques au niveau de la loi internationale. Cette exposé argumente qu'il est impossible que l'explication de Rawls, état-centré comme elle l'est, s'accorde avec les avancements en la loi internationale qui affirment de plus en plus la reconnaissance des individus dans le contexte global
