This paper investigates the implications of failed states for applied international ethics, asking whether the great powers have a responsibility for these states' domestic conditions. It discusses the nature of sovereignty, examines the phenomenon of failed states and looks at responsibility in the international society. Subsequently, the paper discusses the role of great powers as well as the implications of political independence. The author argues that there is no room for paternalism in a world of sovereign states.
