Project description
Essay question: What is the Doctrine of Double Effect? Is it defensible?
Analysis+ description in essay
Introduction
Ethics in International Relations (How it is important in todays world) + Use of War
Narrow focused, as this is NOT a high school essay, it should be more analytical/ critical
Essay should include:
1.Introduction stating, what is DDE( Doctor Double Effect) ? Look genealogy of DDE/ what it is doing. If it is morally just? + Unintended consequences. What is your target? Distinction.
2.Example of Drones, that kill civilians, but DDE is still defensible. Any other examples that are suitable. Also, we can see the example of Hiroshima.
3. Links with Just War theory. Engage with the moral claims developed by Walzer of the history of violence, conflict and war within the international system. Can we distinguish between legitimate and illegitimate targets in war?
Can biological, chemical and nuclear weapons ever be justified? If so, under what conditions? Are governments contracting out war?
Should we condemn or condone the use of drones?
What is casualty aversion? Are drones an attempt to remove risk from military strategy? Are drones the continuation of warfare by a technical means?
4. DDE is just a political tool- this is really good argument
