- Double-weighted statement
- This book articulates a clear and comprehensive critique of Just War Theory and the Responsibility to Protect. Deconstructing the philosophical, moral and political arguments justifying these practices, it shows the narrow and distorted understanding of mass atrocity and human protection used to justify war. It meets the criteria for double-weighting in that it is a longer form of output; it explores the topic in considerable depth, from the different perspectives, examining the main philosophical, methodological, and empirical modes of justifying war; and it draws on a range of real-life case studies in different contexts to develop its critical insights.
