This was a fascinating debate with a stellar cast. Well worth a watch.
We accept war as an exceptional circumstance where acts like murder are permitted. But should we give up trying to apply the law to it? | https://t.co/wLraDlaIlG Watch as @jeremycorbyn, @bronwenmaddox, @yanisvaroufakis, @MalcolmRifkind, and host @MASieghart, debate at the
