ABSTRACT
This chapter outlines various possible conceptions of the moral feasibility requirement. It attempts to motivate an alternative view by explaining what people might gain by liberating moral human rights from such a condition. The chapter argues that many of the arguments that have been given in defence of this "moral feasibility" requirement have significant weaknesses. It suggests that there are few theoretical costs to freeing human rights from such a requirement. The problem with enforcing the moral feasibility requirement is that it completely obscures the moral situation, both by failing to recognise non-compossible rights as rights and by failing to recognise the cost to the fulfilment of some rights over others. The chapter examines some of the advantages of freeing human rights from the condition of moral feasibility. Yet freeing human rights of the condition of compossibility with other moral imperatives is not to simultaneously free them of the condition of being possible to fulfil immediately.
