CLP Lecture | What Might (Finally) Kill the Jus ad Bellum

Описание: Speaker: Professor Monica Hakimi (University of Michigan Law School)
Chair: Sir Michael Wood (Twenty Essex)
About the lecture

What Might (Finally) Kill the Jus ad Bellum. There is a long tradition of international relations and legal scholars warning of the demise of the jus ad bellum - the international law that governs when states may use force across national borders. Professor Hakimi will argue in this Lecture that these warnings have mostly been wrong. The reason they have been wrong is that they have misdiagnosed or at least grossly overstated the source of the threat. Worse, they have diverted attention away from the kinds of challenges that might actually push the contemporary jus ad bellum to the breaking point - and that we might now confront.
