Essay from the year 2007 in the subject Politics - Topic: Peace and Conflict, Security, grade: Distinction, Macquarie University, course: IRPG 842 Politics of International Law, language: English, abstract: This paper will argue against an expansion of international law to include an unrestricted doctrine of pre-emptive war in the legal conception of self-defence. In order to back this position arguments both for and against pre-emptive self-defence will be examined from a moral as well as practical point of view. After examining the nature of terrorist threats and current international law, this essay will focus on alternatives to and consequences of pre-emptive self-defence, before considering the limits of law and power in international relations.
