College of Public Policy
Is it legal to kill, or capture and confine, someone in war? Is this relevant or wise to ask in the reality of war? What does ‘legal’ actually mean in the labyrinth of overlapping international laws?
The online event will explore the meaning, relevance, and wisdom of questioning the ‘legality’ of the use of force against individuals in war by reconnecting legal thought with the social world. Weaving together law, social theories, and actual practices, the book presents an interdisciplinary study of the laws regulating warfare.
