 Suffice it to underscore two things here. First of all, when it comes to traditional, backward looking, collective responsibility, we need, at the very least, to be able to locate a group that is capable of being construed as a collective moral agent, that could have been expected to prevent the harm in question (by virtue of, say, having a collective obligation to do so), and that was capable of acting in the ways required. Second, it is much easier for a collective that is organized to meet these conditions than a collective that is not. Third, in order for a collective that is not organized to meet these conditions, it may have to rely on individual members to organize it, individual members who are motivated in some way to do so qua individual moral agents.
