Codirectors of the Oxford Institute for Ethics, Law and Armed Conflict Jennifer Welsh, David Rodin and Dapo Akande debate Nato's ongoing intervention in Libya in a discussion chaired by ELAC visiting fellow Cheyney Ryan.

Jennifer Welsh assesses the impact of the Libya intervention on Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and the UN's tradition of impartiality. David Rodin stresses the dual importance of the culpability of the state and the culpability of the target. Dapo Akende argues that the resolution aims at war termination, but that this does not preclude targeting Gaddafi.
