Yet, we should strive for human actions with less contradictions. This is why policies of human rights, foreign trade, foreign and social affairs as well as environment and trade etc. are to be interlinked to serve a coherent, credible overall policy. The respect for social minimal standards in national as well as international trade policies is an expression and a precondition for coherent actions. Freedom and justice imply eachother Liberalising world trade increases the dynamics of the world economy. Thus, the value of freedom resumes first place in the economic value order.
Freedom is an important basic value.
But freedom only enables human development if it is connected to justice and justice only enables human development if it allows freedom. So far, liberalisation of world trade was not able to reduce the inequalities and injustices in the world economy. Therefore, the liberal world trade needs to be completed with social minimal standards. Fair play needs just rules of the game Justice is what strengthens the weak the most. The strengthening of the weak is a precondition for a world trade with equal opportunities.
