War and Morality

on BBC Radio 3

An open-end discussion in which the speakers pursue their arguments without the inhibitions imposed by a fixed time limit.

Renford Barbrough, Dean Of St John's College, Cambridge; Colonel G.I.A.D. Draper, Reader in Law Studies, Sussex; R.M. Dworkin, Professor of Jurisprudence, Oxford; Roger Holmes, Senior Lecturer in Social Psychology, LSE; Sir Fitzroy Maclean, MP; Archbishop T.D. Roberts, S.J.; under the chairmanship of Philip Windsor, Reader in International Relations, London

Which does more harm - a sense of moral authority in international affairs or a cynical Realpolitik which ignores moral considerations? Is it possible to devise a framework of moral restraint in the relations of states? The Nuremberg Trials attempted to establish the supremacy of international over national law: have they any relevance to Nigeria or Vietnam?

(Can there be law in war?: p 12)
