The principle of Last Resort belongs to the core principles of Just War Theory. It is regarded as one of the contstraints on war. In its application the combatants are concerned with taking all possible efforts not to be provoced to start a war before it is truly necessary or unavoidable. In this chapter we not only look throuhg the theoretical aspects, but also consider a number of practical cases.

Introduction: Terrorism poses a serious threat to the security of society and the State. However, due to the multidimensional nature of this socially dangerous phenomenon, understanding the essence of the term «terrorism» is ambiguous and sufficiently debatable, and therefore consideration of the legal definition of the term «terrorism» contained in normative legal acts intended for the ...

This article advances the idea that war is a political institution in progress—an institution whose function is undetermined, whose structure has not yet been fixed. The attempt to conceptualize war as a biological category is flawed not so much by its failure to analyze the concrete and biological aspects of war, but by its failure ...

This paper explores the problem of defining the boundaries of the term “agon” as a type of competition. There has been a revived interest in agonality, giving rise to voluminous research, especially in philosophy, cultural studies and linguistics where agon is often viewed as a battle, game, war or competition in a broader sense. Therefore, ...

The Sahel Belt’s contradictions have brought about a multidimensional and lasting security crisis. The conflicts were triggered partly by climate change’s disruption of seasonal pastoral migration in the western Sahel, and partly by the disruption of nomads’ natural symbiosis with sedentary farmers in the south. This has led to the politicization of ethnic and religious ...

Затяжные войны Султаната мамлюков с Дулкадиром и Ак Коюнлу во второй половине XV в. стали своеобразной прелюдией к первой османо-мамлюкской войне. Эмиры и беи анатолийских княжеств, хотя бы формально признававшие вассалитет по отношению к египетскому султану, получили веские основания для того, чтобы усомниться в непобедимости мамлюкской армии, а главное – в могуществе своего сюзерена, от которого зависел ...
