| Abstract: | The prohibition on resort to military force may well be falling behind the advancement of other peremptory norms of international law such as the prohibitions of torture, slavery, and genocide. These Lectures take up this issue, aiming to reawaken commitment to preserving the peace through law. The approach will be through theory—not just dominant positivism but natural law, process theory, and aesthetic theory.
III. Attracting Law Compliance: The final lecture will introduce aesthetic theory and the insights it provides into attraction—specifically into increasing the attraction to compliance with current and future law against resort to force. The lecture will draw on the aesthetic theories of Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, and Allott. |
