Public goods are used to meet the essentianl needs of the people in general. Acceleration of globalization besides other reasons, have conferred a global characteristic to these goods which the shortage in their provision at international level, necessitates further cooperation between states and international organizations in their distribution. This idea was first introduced in Economy, but due to its influence onprovision of peoples’ needs in different life domains, it can be considered as a thorough theory covering a wide range of issues especially in distribution of resources among individuals and countries. The present article aims at exploring the distributive attitude in public goods theory and its place among other notable theories regarding distributive justice. Further, while presenting examples of global public goods and describing the situation of their provision in the world, the author tries to propose suggestions for refinement of the global provision of these goods notably global financial resources which is necessary for provision of other public goods.
