JIB/JAB - Episode 10: Eliav Lieblich on the Humanization of Jus ad Bellum

A conversation with Prof. Eliav Lieblich of Tel Aviv University, in which he takes a recent UN Human Rights Committee General Comment, as a point of departure for analyzing the relatively unexplored relationship between international human rights law and the legal regime that governs the state use of force. Does an act of aggression by a state infringe human rights law as well as violate the jus ad bellum regime? Do governments contemplating the use of force in self-defense have to consider human rights obligations to its own citizens, and those of the state against which it is using force? Fascinating questions with important implications, examined from a doctrinal, theoretical, and philosophical perspective.
