DESCRIPTION:Just war theorising has undergone a renaissance inspired by the
  ground-breaking work of Jeff McMahan. Central to the new orthodoxy is the
  claim that self-defence is a right that can justify a right to inflict ha
 rm on unlawful aggressors. Crucially\, this is a right to inflict harm ava
 ilable to both the victim and others even if these others are not harmed o
 r threatened. This talk explores how this view of just war as self-defence
  justifying a right to harm is based on a misunderstanding of how self-def
 ence works in criminal law. This alternative view understands self-defence
  as a kind of defence\, such as duress\, which might provide an excuse for
  wrongs and not a justification to do wrong. The talk examines the consequ
 ences for just war theorising\, such as whether understanding just war as 
 excused sets a higher threshold for justification.\nSpeaker: Prof. Thom Br
 ooks (Durham Law School)
