In doing so, they show how proponents of Just War and R2P have tended to treat killing in a way which obscures the complex and often messy reality of war, and pays little heed to the human impact of such conflicts. Going further, they provide answers to such difficult questions as ‘Surely it would have been just for us to intervene in the Rwandan genocide?’An essential guide to one of the most difficult moral and political issues of our age.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Weight: 196gGenre: Philosophy & SpiritualityTopic: Law & Politics, Society & CultureRelease Year: 2019
