The Reith Lectures 1981: The Two Edged Sword: 4: Conflicts of the Third World

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Six talks by Professor Laurence Martin, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Newcastle upon Tyne, on armed force in the modern world.

'As we wash our hands, we would doubtless each according to our temperament regard ourselves as leaving the Third World to stew in its own juice or as respecting the inherent dignity and independence of newly created states. While such abstention may be possible and wise in many particular cases, however, it is not practicable as a universal rule'
(Repeated next Sun, R3)
