Ethics and Foreign Intervention
A collection of original articles by leading international
philosophical and political thinkers on the moral and legal issues involved in armed humanitarian intervention
with some attention to the NATO intervention in Libya in 2011. Topics include the problem of abuse and needed limitations
the future viability of Responsibility to Protect
the possibility of armed humanitarian intervention providing space for peaceful political protest
and how it might be integrated with post-war justice.
The Ethics of Armed Humanitarian Intervention
Article offers a new model of definition in which a key idea is that of \"subtracting\" normal implications that arise in the use of a term such as 'punishment'. This understanding of how meaning and definitions can operate help to dispel certain problems in discussions of punishment.
\"Note on Defining 'Punishment'\"
Answers to criticisms by three philosophers and two law professors in reference to earlier article on the indefinite detention of terrorists [\"Indefinite Detention of Mega-terrorists in the War on Terror
\" Criminal Justice Ethics
vol. 29
no. 1 (April 2010)]
and elaboration on suggestions for developing a proper set of due-process conditions that are appropriate for terrorists--as opposed to both standard criminal law and the laws of war.
\"Replies to Commentaries\"
Extending H.L.A. Hart's approach to punishment
the article argues for a combination or hybrid theory of punishment
with the general justifying aim being consequentialist (general and specific deterrence
incapacitation
and crime control generally) and principles of distribution in sentencing following principles of distributive justice according to a relativized understanding of desert.
\"Constructing a Theory of Punishment
Desert
and the Distribution of Punishments\"
A new interpretation of Kant's theory of punishment showing that consideration of consequences (especially general deterrence) is an essential part of Kant's theory as punishment's general justifying aim.
