Waldron defines ‘assurance’ as a set of paramount principles of justice: “all are equally human, all have dignity, all are entitled to justice, all should be protected from violence, exclusion, indignity and subordination” (Waldron, p.83). The author specifically outlines that he is not searching for the impeccable definition of justice, but rather the foundations of a ‘well-ordered society’. The scholar views assurance as necessary; due to the fact that all should feel free from discrimination fear or humiliation (p.84).
Waldron argues that a set of ‘assurance’ principles are mandatory in a modern society. He identifies that there is this internal conflicts between the tolerant principles of liberal society and the true behaviour of its citizens
