This article seeks to advance thinking about contextual theories of justice as found in Carens'Culture, Citizenship, and Communityand Parekh'sRethinking Multiculturalismby considering the suggestion that such theories would be enhanced by the incorporation of an element of international adjudication. It explores possible advantages and disadvantages of this proposal both theoretically and by reflecting on Canadian experience with the UN Human Rights Committee (HRC) in itsLovelace,BallantyneandWaldmanviews. The article concludes that international adjudication would enhance contextual theories of justice if it incorporated key elements of the HRC's individual communication procedure, including the non-binding nature of its decisions.Résumé.Cet article tente de faire avancer la réflexion sur les théories contextuelles de la justice qu'on retrouve dansCulture, Citizenship, and Communityde Carens, ainsi que dansRethinking Multiculturalismde Parekh. L'article suggère que ces théories gagneraient à incorporer un élément d'arbitrage international. Il explore les avantages et désavantages possibles de cette proposition tant du point de vue théorique qu'en réfléchissant à l'expérience canadienne du Comité des droits de l'homme de l'ONU dans les causes Lovelace, Ballantyne et Waldman. L'article conclut que l'arbitrage international pourrait améliorer les théories contextuelles de la justice s'il incorporait les éléments clés de la procédure de communication individuelle du Comité des droits de l'homme de l'ONU, y compris le caractère non contraignant des décisions
