Frodo PodschwadekWhat recommended moral philosophy literature is out there regarding proportionality from an ethical perspective? I am familiar with discussions in just war theory (e.g. McMahan, Lee, Shue); what interesting stuff is there beyond this?<a href="https://scholar.social/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proportionality</a> <a href="https://scholar.social/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ethics</a>

earthlingWhat is clear is that as Israel decimates Gaza and kills tens of thousands of people, it is also attempting to recreate the norms of war-making and significantly transform interpretations of the laws of armed conflict.If Netanyahu and his government succeed in rendering Israel’s version of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#proportionality</a> acceptable among other state actors, then the laws of armed conflict will end up justifying rather than preventing <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/genocidal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocidal</a> violence. <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.aljazeera.com/opinions/2024/7/15/israel-seeks-to-rewrite-the-laws-of-war</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@palestine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Israel</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/war" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#war</a>

Eric Maugendre"The Principle of <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Proportionality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Proportionality</a>, codified in Protocol I Additional to the <a href="https://social.coop/tags/Geneva" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Geneva</a> Conventions, defines as disproportionate any attack in which the incidental damage to civilians is excessive in relation to the military advantage anticipated from the attack. However, it is close to impossible to pinpoint exactly what is meant by “excessive”. This writer posits that this vagueness is not a coincidence, but rather a tool, serving the purposes of attacking states."<a href="https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=908369" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=908369</a><a href="https://social.coop/tags/IHL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IHL</a>
