JIB/JAB - Episode 14: Federica Paddeu on Consent as a Justification for the Use of Force

A conversation with Prof. Federica Paddeu of Cambridge University in England, on how best to understand the operation of consent as a justification for the use of force in international law - is it part of or intrinsic to the prohibition on the use of force itself? Or is it extrinsic, a separate and independent exception or justification for the use of force? Consider how consent operates quite differently in the crimes of rape and battery. The answer to the question has important implications for how we think about and understand the use of force itself, as well as for the operation of the justification in practice.
