    So, what does a case such as Sierra Leone imply in regards to moral obligations that ought to be considered by more affluent nations around the globe? There are a few steps that have to be taken in order to accomplish the task of answering this question. First, we have to create and examine our personal theories of international moral obligations towards human rights violations. Second, we have to theoretically apply this approach to our particular case. Third, we have to consider the practical implications of the moral responsibility that has been established. The aim of this paper is to accomplish these three tasks in relation to the current situation of poverty faced by Sierra Leone. [From Introduction]
