Basing his argument on natural law, Graham J. McAleer asserts that only public authority has the right to intentionally kill. He draws upon the work of Thomas Aquinas and Francisco de Vitoria, defending the claim that these natural law theorists have developed the best available theory of homicide. To have rule of law in any meaningful sense, the author argues, there must be protections for the guilty and prohibition against killing innocents. Western theories of law have drifted steadily towards the privatization of homicide,despite the fact that it runs counter to rule of law. Public acts of homicide like capital punishment are now viewed by many as barbaric, while a private act of homicide like the starvation of comatose patients is viewed by many as a caring gesture both to patient and family. This subversion of the rule of law is prompted by humanitarian ethics. McAleer argues that humanitarianism is a false friend to those committed to the rule of law. The problem of human vulnerability makes political theology an inescapable consideration for law. Readers will find much to reflect upon in this book. McAleer's argument can be read as a cultural chapter in the history of moral ideas, but also as a close and timely reading of a grim subject.

Koenigsberg shows how Hitler's thoughts about war generated the Holocaust. While some view Hitler as an anomaly, Koenigsberg shows how both the Holocaust and two World Wars grew out of an ideology located at the heart of Western civilization: that of nationalism. Based on belief in the absolute reality and profound significance of their nations, political leaders feel that they have a right to kill and to ask their people to die.

Western theories of law have drifted steadily towards the privatizationof homicide. Capital punishment is now viewed by many as barbaric, evenfor heinous crimes, while a private act of homicide like the(increasingly routine) starvation of comatose patients is seen by manyas a caring gesture both to patient and family. This subversion oflaw is prompted by humanitarian ethics, but McAleer argues thathumanitarianism is a false friend to those committed to rule of law. Asa consequence, the problem of human vulnerability makes politicaltheology an inescapable consideration for law. Drawing upon ThomasAquinas and Francisco de Vitoria, Graham J. McAleer asserts that onlypublic authority has the right to intentionally kill. Readers will findmuch to reflect upon in this book, which is timely in our twenty-firstcentury. From start to finish, McAleer presents a sustained argument, ahistory of moral ideas, and and a close reading of a grim subject thatis persuasive and compelling.

This book is a comprehensive analysis of the criminal defence of self-defence from a philosophical, legal and human rights perspective. The primary focus is on self-defence as a defence to homicide, as this is the most difficult type of self-defensive force to justify. Although not always recognised as such, self-defence is a contentious defence, permitting as it does the victim of an attack to preserve her life at the expense of another. If one holds that all human life is of equal value, explaining why this is permissible poses something of a challenge. It is particularly difficult to explain where the aggressor is, for reasons of non-age or insanity for example, not responsible for her actions. The first part of the book is devoted to identifying the proper theoretical basis of a claim of self-defence. It examines the classification of defences, and the concepts of justification and excuse in particular, and locates self-defence within this classification. It considers the relationship between self-defence and the closely related defences of duress and necessity. It then proceeds critically to analyse various philosophical explanations of why self-defensive killing is justified, before concluding that the most convincing account is one that draws on the right to life with an accompanying theory of forfeiture. The book then proceeds to draw upon this analysis to examine various aspects of the law of self-defence. There is detailed analysis of the way in which, on a human rights approach, it is appropriate to treat the issues of retreat, imminence of harm, self-generated self-defence, mistake and proportionality, with a particular focus on whether lethal force is ever permissible in protecting property or in preventing rape. The analysis draws on material from all of the major common law jurisdictions. The book concludes with an examination of the implications that the European Convention on Human Rights might have for the law of self-defence, especially in the areas of mistaken belief and the degree of force permissible to protect property.

The Right to Kill follows the lives of six young boys living on Syracuse, NY's north side in the 1950s and 60s when the United States was still in its infancy; when families were poor, uneducated, hardworking, lower-class citizens. The boys make a blood-bound pact to "clean up the neighborhood" at all costs. As time goes by, their once simple adventures lead to an escalation in what they deem as morally acceptable and ultimately necessary killings in order to keep the peace. As adults they find themselves at the forefront of the most significant political shift in United States history. By the ruling party's executive order, "On this fine day," the U.S. borders are immediately and indefinitely closed. Texas passes the controversial, Right to Kill Act. Anyone in the State of Texas can petition to have someone killed. The catch? The petitioner has to make the kill. This is followed by the Texas Prison and Rehabilitation System putting to death 28,000 prisoners it houses as it opts out of having a prison system all together. Before long the entire country is following the Lone Star State's lead. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, the country's first Roman Catholic leader's Dallas assassination is tied to South Vietnam's assassination of their first and only Roman Catholic leader, Ngo Dinh Diem. While the world is caught up in an unprecedented warring spiral, our six north siders are implementing their own strategic maneuvers to dominate the world.
