Description

Arthur Ripstein's "Rules for Wrongdoers" explores the complex relationship between law and morality in the context of war. He argues that recognizing both the jus ad bellum and the jus in bello as prohibitions, rather than permissions, can reconcile their apparent tension. The central wrong of war is that it is a condition where force decides, and moral principles governing an activity apply even to those who are not permitted to engage in them. This book provides a detailed analysis of how moral principles govern activities, including those involving armed force. This volume includes contributions from leading scholars and an introduction by Saira Mohamed, making it a significant contribution to the field of ethics of war.
