2023--The Legitimacy and Legality of War: From Philosophical Foundations to Emerging Problems

Abstract

While Russia\u27s invasion of Ukraine represents a serious challenge to the international legal order, its challenge to the use of force regime is particularly acute. This symposium brings together a wide range of scholars to assess the applicability and efficacy of the international legal framework regulating the use of force. Topics to be examined include just-war theory, the prohibition on the threat or use of force, exceptions to the use-of-force prohibition, the treatment of the non-use-of-force principle in judicial proceedings, and the role of non-State actors in the use of force regime.https://scholarship.law.slu.edu/lj_cicl_symposia/1001/thumbnail.jp
