Morality of Defensive War

In "Morality of Defensive War," Cécile Fabre, published by Oxford University Press in 2014, delves into the complex interplay between international law and moral philosophy regarding the right of states to use lethal force in defense of their sovereignty. This thought-provoking book, spanning 266 pages, features contributions from leading theorists who explore the foundational questions surrounding the ethics of national defense. What justifies the permission to kill in the name of political sovereignty and territorial integrity? Fabre's work not only addresses these critical issues but also sets the stage for future discussions on the moral and ethical aspects of war. This essential read is perfect for anyone interested in the philosophical underpinnings of warfare and the principles guiding national defense.
