“There is an abstract right to defend yourself against any abstract threat that a terrorist organisation can present to you”, says Alonso Gurmendi Dunkelberg, fellow in Human Rights at the London School of Economics. On the one hand, you have the self defence argument and very flexible standards used by “a few Nato members and Israel”; on the other hand, the UN Charter, which is radically anti-war on which most states, rely to say, “it is illegal”. The debate is on, in this new podcast from our partners of Asymmetrical Haircuts, which also features Tamsin Philipa Paige, associate professor with Deakin Law School, as a guest speaker and numerous academic references to help us consider and rethink the rights of war today.
