‘There are occasions when the use of force should be required’. Discuss.

Jonathon Mark Woodruff • Jun 4 2009 • Essays

This essay will attempt to examine the validity of the claim that not only is there such a concept as ‘justified’ or ‘legitimate’ force, but that in certain circumstances such force is not merely permissible, but an absolute necessity. Perhaps force is required in order to ferment global peace by enforcing international laws, which ultimately promote global justice.
